I'm looking for a nice looking case that is great with cooling. It's always super hot in this room and sometimes my PC feels so hot when gaming, I have to turn it off. I'm thinking about trying water cooling in the future but I'm not 100% on that because I'm slowly upgrading my PC every chance I get. I'd probably do this if I decide to upgrade CPU. Anyway back to choosing a case! Any suggestions/ideas would be awesome!

And also when I switch out cases, I think I will get a new motherboard because I can't even begin to try to explain what mobo I have, I just know it's by gigabyte...? Any suggestions would be even more helpful. Thanks~!

My pcpartpicker build

CPU: AMD FX-6100 3.3GHz 6-Core
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB 3.5" 5400RPM
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB DirectCU II
Power Supply: Corsair 600W ATX12V
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Monitor: AOC e2050Swd 19.5"

EDIT: Oh and no limit for now but if you can keep it reasonable or whatever, go for it~!

I'm a big fan of NZXT cases myself. My wife just got the Phantom 410 in red for about 65 dollars after rebate. I'm thinking about getting the black one now because of the build quality, cable routing, fan controller options.
