PC Case at around $30?

[AtomicXYZ]

Any ideas for an ATX Mid Tower case at around $30-40 that will provide sufficient airflow and comes with a few fans? Also any suggestions for cheap fans I can use inside the case? My budget is around $400 and here is my build list:

For $400 I wouldn't reccomend going new TBH. I'd get a console or look for used parts. anyways, for $30-$40 I wouldn't even consider airflow. If you have enough budget, I'd reccomend expanding to $60 and getting the cooler master Masterbox MB311L Mesh. Comes with two fans preinstalled.

I'm building this to replace my console as I have a lot more PC games. I'll look into that case tho

Also, the GPU and CPU are used. Any suggestions for other parts that would help me save more if I bought used?

If you're a true thrift seeker, you can go to local internet/LAN cafes and ask for cases they don't use anymore. I got one for $5 that only needed a couple standoffs to pull off.

 

For $400 as mentioned, looking for used parts is a great idea.

 

Otherwise this is a non-terrible $30 case.

Build seems alright. I would use an SSD with DRAM cache though, like this one https://pcpartpicker.com/product/n4PKHx/crucial-mx500-250gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-ct250mx500ssd4

 

If you can budget for it it will give you a snappier OS experience.p

You could save a buck or two by going with used ram. You can go for a used psu, but It probably isn't worth it. Maybe shop around though. Who knows? Also, Go for a mx500 for the ssd.

I recommended you to look at your local online shop. Maybe there some off-brand one maybe Deepcool or something.

I'll use that. Also, does the Fractal Design case come with fans?
