As the title says, I am building my first computer. I am going to be playing a decent amount of games on it. I'm having trouble finding a case. I'm looking to spend under $100. I know there are a lot of cases in that price range, and I like the way a lot of them look, but when I read the reviews, everyone has something bad to say about each of them. So I was just wondering if anyone has favorites or suggestions. I'm looking at mid tower ATX cases. Here is what I am going to be putting in it

Most likely this board: Intel® Desktop Board DZ87KLT-75K but if not then it will be a Z87 ATX board.
Most likely WD Blue 1TB 3.5" Maybe not exact one but it will be 3.5"
haven't picked a PSU yet but at least 650w
i5-4570s
radeon HD 7850 2gb
Corsair Vengeance 8gb (2X4gb)
LITE-ON iHAS-324-98B

Also, I do like ones with lighted fans, but not a requirement.Thanks for the help. Look forward to your replies.
 
Post some links up for the ones you like and we can either recommend or not recommend them. Don't read too much into the reviews.
 
OK I like the 300R, just a few questions about fans. It comes with a intake and exhaust fan, and has two*mounts for the top and the bottom. Should I get 4 fans so that every mount has a fan or is that not necessary? Also, a newbie question, if I add fans, do they blow in or out, or a combination? I know they are supposed to blow the heat out of the case, but are there supposed to be some that blow cool air into the case, or is just the one intake fan on the case good enough for that? Thanks.

I have the Zalman Z11 case. It's great, I have no complaints with it. The cable management is great. It also comes with rubber mounts for all your HDD's, which I thought was awesome.
