Either micro atx or atx with stock ryzen 5 cooler, gtx 1050 to but looking for room to fit upgrade

Must haves - tempered glass side, psu shroud, under $60, good cable management, good airflow nice to have- included fans, visual front for fans ( wanting to see my front fans lol), white color

Not taking the 1060 it’s for my other build I’m piecing together a second build

It is the larger case and can fit a full size gpu in it. I put my 6gb 1060 in it from my other pc only to realize I had no 8 pin

Current build below I play mostly world of warcraft, ghost recon wildlands, witcher 3, overwatch, r6s, like to play at high settings 1080p. cpu: i5- 3470 Gpu: gtx 1050ti (no external power) Ram: ddr3 1600 16gb Mobo, case, psu are all generic hp 6300 I have 400 to spend max what would you...

i do that is why i stated for questing it will be fine. i would suggest getting an rx 460 or gtx 1050 to actually play it well

at 720p high settings, at 1080p medium with no shadows and no hairworks

the new i3 isnt dual core. honestly for pure gaming the new coffee lake i3 would be an upgrade. its quad core and great single core ipc. even a ryzen 5 1400 would be an upgrade.

also for battle for azeroth the cpu is fine in that and a 1050 will be fine for mid settings at 30-40 fps roughly. the IGPU will play it at low settings and will drop to 5-10 fps in heavily populated areas even at low settings but for leveling and questing it will do fine i have been playing...

i had that case it will take a dedicated gpu, the 1050 2gb is way better than the IGPU and is cheap, it also runs off of motherboard power with no extra 4-pin connector needed and will play a lot of games decently at mid settings in 1080p while not generating too much heat for the stock case.

raw danger?

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/XjRx9J this would be my build

are you liquid cooled?

cpu only supports 24gb ram look here https://ark.intel.com/products/37150/Intel-Core-i7-950-Processor-8M-Cache-3_06-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI

if 30c when in game you have a throttling issue where gpu is not ramping up to speed to play games and thats why you have shit fps
