Hello Guys,

I am confused regarding to select a cabinet for my system.
Can you help me.?

Right now I have CM elite 370 and after adding all the component it looks congested and temp issue are there.

My system conf:
Mobo: ASUS M4A88T-M
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti DS Superclocked
PSU: Seasonic Gold X 650W
2 HDD
12gigs RAM

Please suggest something, my budget $100-$150.
 
Have you looked at the Corsair 300R? A lot bigger and with decent cooling. If you want to take a step up, the Corsair 400R, 500R, or C70 are much larger and have a lot more expansion options.

And if you want to go bigger yet, the 600T or 650D are our jumbo mid towers and right now the 650D is like $139 on newegg after rebate. (the 650D is the case I use at home)

But that's just Corsair stuff...lots of options from other guys, too.
 
300R, NZXT H230 or Fractal Core 3000 are all solid buys < $100.

If you want to spend more, go for a NZXT H630 or Fractal R4 (with or without window depending on your preference there).
 
Built the below rig last year and the CM Storm Enforcer would suit your needs perfect not to mention it is well below your budget at this time :

Fixing to upgrade to the GTX 770 card that will fit in this case just fine with the removable center HD cage. I added the optional 200mm fan on top for exhaust. The case also comes with a front intake dust filter and one for the bottom intake to the power supply.

Regards, :)
