Budget Gaming Cases

[UsiGX]

Hi,
I am planning to build a rig with a GTX 970 (MSI) and I'm looking for a decent budget case. I've found 2 good deals :-

Rosewill Challenger http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produc...re=rosewill_challenger-_-11-147-153-_-Product

Corsair Spec 01 http://www.ncix.com/detail/corsair-carbide-series-spec-01-red-f6-95572-1244.htm

CM Elite 430 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119227&ignorebbr=1

I have a budget around $70 CAD. Btw that corsair spec 01 has a special price for $60 CAD with free shipping ending on the 26th. If I decide to get it, should I get it now or wait for Black Friday to possibly find a better case at this budget which is after the 26th ?

PS. I really want the CM Storm Enforcer which is out of my budget, wish it would be for sale on Black Friday tho .....

Please advice which case I should go for and any other cases you think are good at the specified budget. Thankyou

Antec GX500,

My current rig is built around this and for the money its pretty nice.Having had cases like the Antec 900 in other builds,i'm not missing all that much in the way of cooling with the GX500.

Biggest downfall of the case really is the lack of usb 2.0 ports on the front.Overall a clean,conservative yet nice looking gaming case.

Another option: Cooler Master N200 - right now at 60 CAD (or 50 CAD after 10 CAD rebate)+ shipping 15 CAD.

Only mATX motherboards.

Nice case,reminds me of the Rosewill Line-M i used to own

Cases like the one you linked,the GX500 and the Line-m really shine i think cause of the front intake fans direct approach with zero obstructions.Other cases like the much more expensive Corsair Air 540 perfect it but for a fraction of the price these cases do nearly the same.

Mid tower cases have been much more exciting to me lately,especially the Micro-ATX based ones.
