Best PC Case for My Budget?

[Precedentbug]

I've already got a desktop PC, and at the current state it just looks trash.. the Case is from 2003, i've upgraded a few parts but still need to get a New CPU + More Ram, I'm thinking of getting the i7 2600k but i don't know which motherboard would fit it, i'd prefer one that supports ddr4 Ram and a link to a PC case that it would fit in.. if anyone can help me out i'd greatly appreciate it!

Motherboards that support the i7-2600k use DDR3 memory, not DDR4. Please list the components you have now, that you want to keep to transfer into a new case.

Mini Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 OC edition 2GB
I Have a stock Intel cooler laying around if that alright? (Current CPU: AMD II X4 960T + Arctic Alpine 64 PLUS - 100 Watt Low Noise CPU Cooler)
QUIET ARTIC BLUE 750W ATX PSU 8 PIN -MOLEX - PCI-E & 120mm BLUE FAN POWER SUPPLY
8GB DDR3 Ram
Also i don't want the case to be that expensive.. i just want Something nice and cheap if that's ok, anything is better than this case from 2003.

I didn't actually expect anyone to reply, thanks. :/

What is your actual budget for a new case? Obviously, you have many options:

However, it sounds like you really need suggestions for an entirely new build (with the possible exception of reusing your PSU, GPU, and possibly memory). Am I reading your situation correctly?

The parts i bought brand new to "Improve" the build that i had.. My mum bought the PC back in 2002 and we haven't used it since 2016, been slowly upgrading it ever since, i don't really have alot to spend considering i don't have a Job at the moment, but each month i could try and save up, could you link me a Motherboard for me that Supports the i7 2600k and my remaining parts fit in it? Thank you.

Just saying, i know my PSU is bad i will buy a new one when the motherboard arrives if you know which one i should get? i read about the PSU Classes or whatever they're called before and apparently mine is the Unsafest to use not knowing when the thing might blow up my house lol.

Something like this motherboard will meet your basic need (the i7-2600k requires a compatible socket 1155 motherboard):

This would be an excellent PSU:

A less expensive option:

Thank you so much now i just need to slowly save up each time, the Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H Ultra Durable Motherboard works 100% with the i7 2600k right?

No, I posted the wrong link earlier. Rather, you need something like this:

My PSU And GPU Will fit right? And is it ok to use the stock intel cooler for the i7 2600k?

 

[COLGeek]

Yes, the PSU and GPU should fit. Yes, you can certainly use a stock heatsink with the i7.

Ok, thank you!
