Hey guys, I am planning out my new build and I just want a case with great features, looks pretty nice, and is affordable. I would like it to have USB 3.0, but if it doesn't that is totally fine by me. Don't really care whether or not it has a window, but if it does and doesn't sacrifice the budget then that would be an awesome feature to have! For the case, I would like to keep it under $100 USD. Here are the rest of my parts that I have picked out so far, but it is still in development so expect many changes!

Does not need to be small, does not need to be lightweight. This will sit on either my desk or under that for as long as I own it! I do not plan to attend any LAN parties with this, but if it does have a handle you should still recommend it to me!
The case just needs to have nice airflow, great features, and not look like a cardboard box. Thank you for any help and advice!
