<1K gaming build - Case suggestions?

[dockmatt]

Hi guys. I came here for advice 5 years ago on my first build, and I feel like I need some good advice again for my second.

I feel like I've got decent parts for a semi-budget gaming rig, but I'm a little unsure of which case to go with. I don't need anything fancy.... function (and finances!) over fashion.

Any suggestions on good (and preferrably inexpensive) cases to match this build? Or any other part changes that should be made? Thanks!!

It looks good to me for a semi-budget rig. Only think I would comment suggest is:
- Do you want to get a 3.5" HDD 1TB? It just allows you to have a lot more than a 120GB, which I think isn't enough.
- I'd probably go with a different PSU with a more reliable brand. Personally I only stick with Corsairs and Seasonics!
- Anyway these options are open to you if you'd like to adopt them. But overall, I think it's a solid gaming PC. I would have changed your RAM but it's already been bought Don't worry - all good!
