Hello...

My current case is kind of trash. There are no fans, and spacing is very limited, which didn't allow me to manage cables well at all. Even though the case supports ATX motherboards, if you install one, it blocks the holes that you can use to route cables behind the casing from the side panels to save space inside the cabin, which limits cable management really badly. So in short, everything is sort of crammed in there and airflow is really bad because of wires hanging everywhere as well as the fact that the case does not have any fans at all (apart from the CPU fan of course)

This is obviously not healthy for my components, my motherboard can even go to 50 degrees at times, so before anything dies from heat (I've had two systems die that way) I'm going to buy a new case. So I need suggestions, my budget for the case is no more than 50 GBP (I can maybe go a little higher than that, depending on choices)

My preferences are:
5.25" inch bay (two of them, or one 5.25" and a 3.5" bay)
Decent cable management capabilities
Adaquate look. Nothing fancy, but alright looking will do.
I prefer to avoid "gaming cases" as they have fancy looks that unnecessarily increase cost, and they usually don't have 5.25" bays. They also look like Christmas trees so they are kinda
blinding too... so I really prefer to stay away from those. They are cool looking but its not worth it.

System Specs:
Motherboard: Prime B350-Plus
CPU: Ryzen 5 2400g
GPU: GTX 950 (Mini Version from Asus)
PSU: Corsair CX550 (Non-modular)
HDD:1x2TB Western Digital Green 1x1TB Western Digital Blue
SSD: Samsung Evo 128GB (Usual 2.5" form factor)
Current Case: Some PCSpecialist case
 
So... after considering options here, I went to do more search on my own and encountered this case which at first I avoided because it didn't have 5.25" bays but then I noticed that the front has a panel which opens to reveal 5.25" inch bays if I am not mistaken.... which is honestly the coolest thing I've ever seen in a case. It also has this white, simple and adequate look that is amazing to say the least. If anyone here has had any experience with it, I'd love to hear about it.

Thank you to everyone who suggested something here, I appreciate your efforts.
