I'm not into cases like that at all, so my build includes a placeholder case that looks more subdued/professional.
PCPartPicker part list: LINK
Price breakdown by merchant: LINK /
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($109.98 @ OutletPC)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.98 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($74.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($71.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($51.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB Dual-X Video Card ($164.80 @ Newegg)
Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($47.99 @ Mwave)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $611.71
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
That's $700 in parts for just over $600 with the magic of promos and mail-in rebates.
Better CPU, better motherboard, waaay better graphics card, better power supply, better cooling.
If you want a case with lights and shite that appeals to your inner child, there are plenty on Newegg. Here's a link to a presorted list of mid-towers, starting with the highest reviewed. LINK
Once you’ve narrowed it down to a few cases you like, use the reviews or Google to 100% verify that the case is wide enough to accommodate the Hyper 212+/EVO cooler. Generally, cases that have a width of 8” or greater will work, but it’s important to be sure by reading reviews/forum posts from other users who own the case and cooler.
