Also, looking for a case that can easily fit my cooler and mobo in the $130 or less range


Using pc for Plex media server for transcoding 1 1080p movie. while playing games like (Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, Diablo 3, Fornite, Starcraft 2) on low to medium settings.

RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws V 8GB 2 x 4GB DDR4-3200

Solution
I'd drop to a cheaper b450 mothboard and get 16gb ram with the price difference. Additionally if you wanted to you could drop to a 2600 non x since you have a better cooler and potentially between that and the cheaper mothboard get a gtx 1070

I’m getting the mobo and cpu as a bundle at a microcenter. Probably not going to downgrade it.

Only thing I need help with is buying a Tower case that can fit my cooler and mobo without struggling. $130 budget
