Case for $1300 gaming rig

[martinwk]

Hello,
I am looking for a case to build my first system.

Budget $1300
CPU i5-3570K
GPU HD7850

I have not made any other decisions about the system. My current compter desk has an opening 18" H X 10" W X 20" D. The depth needs to include room for connections at the back. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good midrange case. I am currently thinking $50-$100 range for the case.

Thanks

I'm surprised that system would cost $1300, anyways a Corsair 500R will serve you well! BTW an entire system with those parts should only cost about $1000.

Yes Corsair 500r will suite you mind you so will the 300r if the 500 is to big or even the 400r.

With your budget your GPU should at least be a 7870.

Oops looks like Corsairs smallest case is 19" high so back to the drawing board.

After some further research, I found the in win mana 136.

This case will barely fit my cabinet. Any thoughts about whether or not it is suitable for a gaming build? I am looking to overclock later on to try to get about five years of usage out of the computer.

Thanks!

This one will fit your space and will make a much better gaming case, it will fit all your components and keep them nice and cool..
