I'm building my first pc with a 3600 and a 2060 super. the case I have in mine is the ECLIPSE P350X but it only brings one fan. is that ok? if not what other cases can I get in the same or lower price range?

I'd say no. Basic should be at least 2x in the front and 1x in the rear. Top is optional. Both CPU and GPU will clock higher if they have good air circulation.

@RejZoRso is there a case that brings them already or do I have to but them? I'm running on a budget here

See if you have more places to mount case fans.  If you have more 120mm fan locations, pick up some bGears bBlasters.  They are ~$12 each.

If you want, you can spend a bit extra for the PWM ones and a PWM splitter.  If your MB has an extra 4pin PWM fan header, it can control their speed.

$35 is cheaper than a new case.

 

You can get a fan hub for something like $5 and run all case fans off of one header.

@KarathKasunno no, I haven't bought the case yet that's why I'm checking before buying

Coolermaster MB511 RGB, comes with 4 fans for around $65 (when it's on sale, sometimes as low as $51)

I would get this and put the fans from the front on top as intakes.  Because they do nothing when installed in the front, due to the fact that they are blocked off.

No, the top is not closed.  It has a magnetically attached dust filter.  That rectangular area on the top is open.

@TVwazhereoh my bad

It's alright!

 

If you're looking for something right now, the Focus G comes with 2 fans for around $50 (real price lol), but it doesnt have tempered glass or a PSU shroud.

No, but people really like them because they add to the aesthetic and "clean look" of the case. PSU shrouds can help hide extra cables from your PSU, and Tempered glass is often valued over acrylic because it's clearer (lets a bit more light through) and it resists scratches a lot better (acrylic is very soft and can be scratched by micro fiber towels!).

If the sales trends from that link are anything to go by, the first two weeks of august should see the MB511 go on sale for around $65 again :)

I would play it safe and get at least one more fan for the exhaust.
