Yes, it will be very good for that.

Yes, it will be very good for that.

So do you think it could handle most modern games? Not like crysis 3 or Far cry 3, but smaller games
(And we meet again xD)

Its good to go. if it was any 1 thing that is bugging me, its case. the elite 430 has no cable management

It will play modern games at med/high settings no problems. Smaller games should be no problem at all.

And what do you suggest as a good case?

 

[tiny voices]

Corsair 200r

 

[Advicar]

This one looks nice http://pcpartpicker.com/part/apevia-case-xplorer2rd lol i dont know if it will work though.

That case is junk. No cable management at all. Its cheap and crappy. The corsair 200r is an amazing case for the money.

 

[Advicar]

recommend any other cases?

This is a great case.

 

[dudewitbow]

And what do you suggest as a good case?

for sub 50$ cases with basic cable management holes(the ones on the right only)

Rosewill Challenger 40$ atm
This Sentey case is on sale, seems okay, but cannot vouch for its actual performance 40$ -10$ MIR = 30$
NZXT source 210 Elite(technically 55 with shipping,, theres a normal version for 45$
NZXT Gamma Classic 40$
are just a few examples

above that, budget solutions like the Coolermaster HAF 912*, Corsair 200r and such are also options

 

[Advicar]

What about this one? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sentey-case-gs6050halcon

 

[scragnoff]

I'd definitely go with Corsair Carbide 200R. Check out the review.

The Sentey GS-6050 Halcon is fine, but what might turn you away from getting it is the lack of USB 3.0 ports.
