2, 3 in vs 1 out?

Jakers038

I'm a bit low on the budget (saving up every penny for a car and vacation), so I don't want to spend a lot, but I'm wondering what kind of a case should I get for a RX 470 OC with a I5 3450? The cheaper ones either have no visible air intakes on the front, even though they can supposedly have front fans mounted (so I guess they take air from the front edges?) and the other ones are cases where there's one fan on the back or for example two 120 fans in the front and one 80 in the back. Would these be any good or should I try to find one that has one front 120 and one back 120 fan?

 

My current case has no case fans at all (a old 2008 office PC case) and it's been going to an un-exitable standby mode when I play some more demanding games, so I always have to restart it manually. The OC is also not reaching what it should (I get higher FPS with 1240mhz, than 1270mhz that's the factory OC)

 

I'm from Serbia and this is the cheapest place to buy hardware, just click on the first arrow where it says Cena (price) and maybe you can find something good (napred 120 means front 120 and pozadi 120 means back 120), preferably something lower than 5.000 (50-ish usd) https://www.emmi.rs/konfigurator/proizvodi.10.html?go=true&Id=10&categoryId=218&sortBy=Price1|ASC&offset=0

If you can't stretch the budget a bit for a GX202, the Industrial Winston and filling the case with 2x front intakes and 1x rear exhaust would work.
