This build will run most games at least high and some on ultra. It also features good upgradability. I didn't include a case like you asked

You will have to "connect this and that" you can't avoid that. Even if you're just upgrading your current pc you'd have to disconnect and connect stuff. You could always pay a computer shop to do it for you if you really don't want to
