So I want to change my case since its a really old one and thats what people suggested in my previous thread in which I told people that during the summer I literally need to keep my case side panel removed. My current case is a Myria MY8700 that literally can't be bought anymore and only takes 2 fans, though I can actually install only one.

I want to buy another case and another PSU since I currently have an njoy one which I only hear bad things about, and a 2x8gb ram kit .

These are my components:
-myria case
-r5 3600
-rx 6600
-12gb ram(dont ask)
-the njoy psu ,650W I believe
-1tb hdd
-1tb ssd
-an MSI A520M-A PRO mobo


My site of choice is pcgarage.ro (1 dollar = 4,5 ron)
Im unsure which to buy out of these 2:
https://www.pcgarage.ro/carcase/alphagear/runesmith-black/ .I mostly want this one because its cheaper
I just want to know if the components I have can fit into these cases and which is better in a price to "performance" roport.

I also want a PSU suggestion, preferably on the budget side.

Since choosing a PC case is personal choice, pick the one you like the most.

Since PSU powers everything, it is the most important component inside the PC and you do not want to cheap out on PSU.

Good quality PSUs to look towards to;
Seasonic - Focus, Vertex, PRIME
Corsair - RMx, RMi, HXi, AXi
Super Flower - Leadex Gold, Leadex Platinum, Leadex Titanium

E.g;
Seasonic Focus GX-750: https://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/seasonic/focus-gx-80-plus-gold-750w/

Please keep it to 1 thread.

and a

Corsair RM650, 80+ Gold, 650W

I just want to know if the components I have can fit into this case along with the ones that I already own.
ALSO, somebody told me if I get a case with fans that have leds I wont be able to also plug the leds is because the mobo wont have a connection for them ,is that true?
 
You haven't specified a budget in Romanian Leu. Regarding the LED's in your possible case purchase;
https://download.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/B550M-APRO_A520M-APRO100x150.pdf
page 7, doesn't show your motherboard to have any RGB/ARGB LED headers.

Here are my suggestions;

Can you please specify why these components are better than the selected ones?

MoBo fits just fine.

Since you didn't list CPU cooler, i can't tell it's clearances.

Corsair RM, a bit old platform nowadays, but it will do. RMx or RMi would be better units.

Review: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/corsair-rm650-power-supply,6187.html

Btw, store says it has 2 years warranty, while Corsair itself offers 10 years warranty for RM. So, after 2 years, if you have issues with PSU, contact Corsair directly.
