I'm putting together my first PC and could use some guidance on picking a case. Here are my specs: CPU is a Ryzen 5 5500 at 4.2 GHz, GPU is an RX 7600 Gaming OC 8GB from AMD, I have an MSI B550 Gaming Plus motherboard, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, and a PSU that's an MSI MAG A650BN, which might be a bit overkill. I'm using a Deepcool Gammaxx AG400 cooler. I've never built a PC before, so I want to make sure I choose a case that fits all these components without breaking the bank.

You can't go wrong with any ATX mid or full tower case. Just avoid MATX or ITX cases to fit your motherboard. There are plenty of high-quality options under $100, so choose one that you think looks good. Remember, cases are pretty subjective!
I won't suggest a specific case, but if you get a modular one, it makes your build easier with fewer screws and less risk of cuts. Just focus on GPU clearance and airflow. If you want a glass case, go for one with ample space and good airflow setup.
Thanks, everyone, for the helpful tips! Can't wait to get started on this build! ❤️
You could check out the Lian Li Vector V100R. It's around 70 USD, comes with 4 pre-installed fans, and has a fish tank design that's great for showing off your components. Just make sure it fits your ATX motherboard!
The Montech Air 903 is a solid choice for the price. It's well-designed and offers good airflow, which is essential for keeping your components cool. Plus, it looks nice without going overboard on cost.
Exactly! A good airflow is key. Maybe consider cases that come with pre-installed fans to simplify your build.
