This is my build right now. This is in Canada and I know you can probably get some of this way cheaper in the US, but please take into the difference in cost when suggesting different items.

I would greatly appreciate feedback for a case as the current one is kind of just filler. With so many selections for cases in the $50-$100 range I've had trouble narrowing it down. So if anyone has suggestions for a great budget case please leave your info. Feedback for PSU (Haven't checked the prices lately, this is based on an old mock build) and MOBO would also be of help.
