Hey, I'm building a budget pc build. I want to spend some extra on a nice case and rgb lights. I have a prototype list for the parts. Is it competible? Would you recomend any changes? Also do you have any other case options which look good and are affordable under 100$ and do have a tempered glass sidepanel.

Solution
Changed the motherboard (better), SSD (to M.2), CPU (XFR2 will boost the CPU to X speeds) & GPU (RX 590 > 1060 6gb) and now the build after MIR is under $1000 and will game better.

Although for the case/RGB this is what I'd go with.

I'd put the RGB in the front as intake and the rear as exhaust, keep one stock fan as exhaust on the top.
