Best PC Case for First-Time Builders

We updated this article in June to cover new 2023 releases. Our runner-up pick has been updated to a fantastic new offering. Other picks (including our top choice) remain the same.

We know that for those new to PC building, picking every part can be overwhelming, especially the basis of what you intend to build everything in!

Don’t worry, I’ve had many experiences in helping new builders get started (and have reviewed 100s of options). Today’s feature is here to guide you through the best PC cases for beginners that I’ve found.
