Top 3 Budget Gaming PC Cases

Here are our top 3 recommended gaming PC cases for those on a fairly tight budget. Just because these cases are very affordable, doesn't mean they lack quality or features. These cases have also been chosen because they are very easy to work with, so they are perfect for a novice or first-time builder.

1. Cooler Master Elite 430

The Cooler Master Elite 430 Mid Tower ATX Case is one of the best value gaming PC cases on the market right now. It includes everything you would ever need for a custom gaming build, and does not sacrifice quality even at such a great price. It is lightweight, yet sturdy, and has a tool-less design which is handy for first time builders who want an easy to use case for their new build.

Cooling with this case is excellent, and one large fan is included but there are ports for more fans if you ever need to add more in future. Cable management is very decent too with space to tuck away your cables neatly, and zip ties are included if you need them.

The case also has a very visually pleasing design, with a clear side panel which looks awesome when your rig is up and running. For this price, you can't go wrong, and Cooler Master products never fail to impress. Highly recommended for any budget/mid-range gaming build.

2. Cooler Master Elite 310

Our second choice of the best value gaming PC cases is another quality Cooler Master case, the Cooler Master Elite 310 Mid-Tower ATX Case. Once again, this case offers amazing value for money and is great for any custom build on a budget.

As well as looking the part with an awesome looking design, the case is great quality for the price with good airflow (1 large effective fan included, with ports for 5 more if needed), very spacious interior to handle any sort of build, and a sturdy and durable feel to it overall. The case is also easy to work with, and all you need is a screwdriver to install a build.

The case has extra vents for better airflow, and the single rear 120 mm fan included works effectively to cool the whole case.
