Hi I have a gtx 750ti 2 GB ASUS OC edition. I'm really new to building my own pc so idk what case I should get.
Just to save confusion this is what I have:
https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/GTX750TIOC2GD5/


Also I'm kinda on a budget so I'm trying to keep the case under $40
 
Solution
When it sounds to good to be true ....

Take away 3 x Red 15LED Light Fans (say worth $20), Fan Controller (say worth $10) and Card Reader (say worth $10) ... leaves $8 worth for the case



RAM - That's not a single stick right ? You want at last 2 x 4GB, never use single sticks.

WD Blue ? - I'd suggest something faster than 4.01 MB/s in gaming. You could go 2.5 times faster with an SSHD (has build in small SSD) for $20 more

i3-6100 @ 3.7GHz
MSI B150M BAZOOKA MicroATX
4GB DDR4-2133 (unsure about which i should get)
EVGA 430w PSU
WD 1TB 7200 HDD

 
You don't need a special case for any particular card .. either it fits or it don't.

Given the price tier of your card, I would recommend something in the $65 price range and that would be the Phanteks P400 Eclipse which won best case of the year in it's price category in 2016

There's no case I can recommend that is $40 or less

EDIT. That PSU might be considered a bit light by some for a 750 Ti but with a non k series processor and no overclocking it will be more than fine.

nVidia only requires 300 watts

MoBo - You may be disappointed with ALC 887 audio on gaming box

Was the mATX chosen to reduce case size ? if not, then the MSI Grenade B150 ATX is $10 cheaper.

If the sound is important, the MSI Gaming B150 Gaming M3 w/ ALC 1150 will cost ya an extra $25

This case would be perfect man:

I just bought one. The functionality is awesome. I took my 3.5 3tb drive and put it in the 3.5 bay right underneath the optical bay. This allowed me to remove the drive cage to add two intake fans in the front and have one exhaust on the top and back. Just make sure you route 4/8 cpu power supply cable prior to mounting the motherboard as this is the only way to run the cable behind everything.
