Question Can I get a case?

[Insane Potatoz]

I have an Hp Pavilion elite HPE 150f. The specs of it are here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01969874 I'm going to upgrade to a 600w psu, and an rx 580 gpu, but I wanted to know if i could get a different case for my pc. If so, do you have any recommendations? Thanks to everyone in advance.

Yes, that case is a standard mid tower ATX case. Any standard mid tower ATX case will work fine.

What is your budget for the case and what country are you in?

I’m in the US my budget is about $50 to maybe $70. I was thinking of the Matrexx 55 or maybe the master box MB500. I also saw the Masterbox Q500L, would you recommend any of these are would you recommend a different one? Thanks

In that price range, this is EASILY the best case on the market IMO. However, you WILL want to add two additional fans to it as it only comes with two fans, and that is not going to cut it for most modern gaming systems.

That one looks really nice, does it come with fans?

That depends on what you require. For me, performance is more important than anything like LED or RGB fan lighting, so if it were me I'd move the two 120mm fans that come with the case to the rear and top rear locations as exhaust, and then if I was trying to do this as cheaply as possible while still getting good quality, performance oriented fans, I'd put two of these up front as intakes.

If you want to put VERY good fans there, then I'd look at something like the Noctua NF-A14 chromax.black.swap fans.
