E: It's done. All parts have been bought and I am now waiting for them to be delivered. In the end I chose the MSI mag forge 100M.
Heya. A couple months ago I asked for help with an IGPU computer build, and with the assistance of several commenters, was able to build a list as seen below. I now have the money to begin buying parts - but now that I'm looking at the website, the PC case that was suggested (BitFenix Nova Mesh SE ATX Mid Tower Case) has now gone out of stock. I have about £40 left in my budget to get a different case, but there are so many different cases out there that I just have no idea what the best option is. I would much appreciate any guidance from here, and thanks in advance.
Any suggestions to upgrade/reduce prices for other parts are welcome too, but it could do with staying in budget where possible. I can perhaps go £20 over the original £610 limit if there's an upgrade that would hugely benefit the build, but nothing more than that though. I would also like to get this sorted by tonight, as I'm somewhat on a time limit to get a PC up and running before my laptop packs up for good.
CPU: Intel Core i5-12500 3 GHz 6-Core Processor (£197.99)
Motherboard: Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard (£113.68)

Case: BitFenix Nova Mesh SE ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair RMx (2018) 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (£59.99)
Total: £569.45
