I'm looking for a new case because my old one is a bit of an eyesore, as it's a stock office case with no cable management whatsoever. My specs are
Intel core i7 2600
GTX 960 2GB Twin Frozr
2x8GB Crucial DDR3-1333
Stock intel cooler with the copper heatsink
ECS H81H2-M2 LGA1155
Samsung 850 EVO 256GB
WD Red pro 4.0TB 7200RPM
Seagate BarraCuda 320GB 7200RPM
What cases would be good for that price, the design that i'm kinda looking for is the fractal pop mini and the NZXT stripe design, but they cost a bit much and NZXT don't have a mATX case wuth the stripe design as far as i know.
Thanks
 
Matx motherboards will fit in a ATX case.
The case sizes may not be all that different.
Do you have a case size restriction?

Go to newegg to search for cases. Prices will not be yours, but you can easily see a large number of options.

Lastly, cases last a long time.
Bust your budget if you must to find a case that you love.
 
What is the make/model of your psu?
Cases come with top and bottom mounted power supply locations.
Top mounted should not be a problem.
Knowing specifics will let you know what fits.
Go to newegg cases. Filter on top mount psu and you will see a large number of cases.
One, for example is the fractal design core1000 MATX

While not best, a 4 pin extension cable is also a possibility

The case I was considering beforehand is the Fractal Pop Air orange, even though it's an ATX case instead of an mATX and everything will look weird, the orange and the rgb fan hub got me
The only issue is, how long does the 4 pin motherboard cable have to be to be able to reach to the top and plug into the slot? Because I think my psu motherboard 4pin cable may be a bit short. I've done some estimates and I think it's sround 40cm, but I don't know the exact measurements and I don't want to have to buy extension cables after because of bad measurements, so please could someone who has that case do the measurement? Thanks
