I am using this website https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ and whenever i choose a case it usually shows this

 

[Ralston18]

What are your USB Header requirements?

Is the Corsair 4000D Airflow case the only choice being offered?

What about this page?

https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case/

The page lists various cases.

You should be able to scroll down through the listed cases.

Select a case that meets your requirements and then within that case then select the desired USB port configuration....

If that does not work then something is astray - perhaps with the list of chosen components, some incompatibility, or the website page(s) themselves.

Try again and, if necessary, post again with what ever problems occurred.

Include additional screenshots.

i found this one but it needs a 3.2 gen 1 usb is it ok to use it? and i change the video card https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MKTNY9 will it bottleneck?

That is not showing anything wrong so what's the problem?

Your just not using all the headers on the motherboard.

1. 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 header
2. 2 x USB 2.0/1.1 headers

I don't think you will find a case that uses them all.

if i use it will it still work?

Everything works, your just not using one of the motherboard headers. Everything on the case will work and you just have a extra connector on the motherboard .

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MKTNY9 so is this one a good setup?
will everything fit

I would recommend a better motherboard. An MSI Pro B660a isn't much more, and is a far better board. I do not recommend that case either. Not very good on airflow. While it isn't a great GPU, an RX 6500xt would be far better than a 1050ti.

Assuming this is for gaming, and if so, this is probably better yet, as you get a much better GPU.

I don't like XFX video cards I would spend 10 more on this.

Either solution is overkill, on cooling, for a 6500xt. The MSI Mech is another option.

so do i get ur top one or bottom one and is the i3 going to effect the performance?

 

[logainofhades]

For gaming, the i3 rig is going to be better. GPU normally matters more, than CPU. If gaming is not a big concern, and you will be doing more production type work, that can make use of more cores/threads, then the i5 is better.

I found this, so you can get an idea of CPU usage, in minecraft, apparently based of how many chunks you select has quite the impact.

I also found a video on 12400 with a 6500xt performance.

so which one would u prefer

 

[logainofhades]

What exactly is your max budget, for a system? Keep in mind you can run windows 10 without a license, in the short term, and get one later. You will just have some limitations to customization, and a watermark telling you to license it, but everything else will work.
