you need any compact mid tower or bigger. I would suggest a normal mid tower to fit everything. your gpu is very small so it wont really be an issue, all you need to look for is heatsink clearance which for the hyper 212 is 120 x 80 x 159 mm.

here are a couple of cases that will suit your need, but I suggest you go on amazon and just look for cases that look good, while checking for cooler clearance. non of the other components need any weird cases. (honestly neither does the 212, most cases, but not all do have space for it, but just to make sure...

great brand, great case, seen it in real life and has actually built a pc in it once. really nice, but not my type in terms of looks.

have heard of the brand, not a popular one but definitely a mid range on, not expensive or fancy, but it looks okay I guess.

de cream de la quire (am not French, have no idea what I said or if its right) this is a really REALLY good case. its on the edge of your budget tho (90$ is about 75 pounds or so) my personal pc has an h700i from them, and I loved every second building In it. amazing fans, amazing cable management and solid looks. this is a compact mid tower, will fit your mobo and such. has solid upgradeability and a great rgb eco-system (but thats for bants) it is made of steel and tempered glass only btw.

but you should choose whatever you want.

Thanks for the suggestions. Looks don't mean anything to me since it will be underneath my desk so I'll go on reviews of airflow and price

looks always matter even if its under your desk. but if you really dont care about any of that, and only want airflow, I would suggest getting a case for 40$ or 45$ and slapping on a couple corsair or noctua fans. or getting the corsair one I recommended earlier.

I can suggest a couple of cheap cases and fan addons if needed
