That is pretty much based on personal opinion, here is one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811119252

Here's a selection of three; pick a budget. Some of my favorite features: usb 3.0 connector, side facing hardrive cage, front, back and top mounted fans, removable fan filter, bottom mount power supply.

Do you not understand that it is up to your personal preference on which case looks the best and gives the best airflow.

hmm how about COOLER MASTER HAF 932 Advanced Blue if you like that look if ya want some thing more reserved but will require modding you can go with LIAN LI PC-A70F USB3.0 Black Aluminum ATX . Awsome quality but behind the cooling curve . Both of those under $ 180.00 . good luck , have fun , and dont over-think it .
