Which case should I choose?
Hello,I'm trying to choose between two cases that I found are best within the price range I'm willing to pay.

Thermaltake Spacecraft VF-I (usb 3.0 ver) $80

http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_000...

Thermaltake Chaser A41 $110

http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_000...

my pc parts will be the following: (my first ever build aswell)

-MSI Z87-G45 gaming motherboard
-Sapphire r9 270x toxic edition video card
-intel i5 4670k cpu
-Cooler master hyper evo 212 cpu cooler
-1tb seagate barracuda hdd
-Corsair Vengeance ddr3 2x4gb 1600mhz
-Antec VP650P V2 650W Power Supply

Which case would you guys recommend and why? Thank you


EDIT:
Corsair Carbide Series 400R Graphite black for $120

Corsair CC230TW Graphite 230T for $110

http://www.corsair.com/en/graphite-series-230t-windowed...

Just found that these are also available in my area,its worth pushing the budget a bit and getting the 400R? is it a huge difference? and what about the Graphite 230T is it good?

I agree with legend, your case is one of the long living parts that is actually future proof in a build. That said it is usually best to go for the most reliable cases within your budget. I have used corsair cases in all my build the last few years and they are all strong contenders. Thermaltake has some very interesting designs but the luster tends to wear off in a few weeks anyway, so looks always should come last. First quality, cooling, then budget, room (inside the case and where your putting it (confinments)), expandability, features, and lastely and kind of least, looks.

yes, the corsair cases are very reliable and good, get the 400R if you can

get the chaser


Just added a small edit if you would mind checking ,I made a quick search and found the 400R and 230T corsair available? is it worth getting the 400R carbride over both these thermaltake cases?

Yeah wish I had more choices but I live in Lebanon and there isn't much to choose from sadly.
