If I remember correctly ant esports cases usually come with molex fans meaning you have no fan control and they are quite noisy.

 

As for case its a well ventilated box so fine for airflow.

 

Its big downside is its short. Like really short and quite thin meaning you are limited to what gpu's will fit.

310mm GPU support which isnt bad tbh and 159mm cooler support, which also isnt bad, @addition101 what cpu, cooler and gpu do you plan on using in this build?

 

Edit: Just realised ive types 150, meant 159, changed above

For a budget build, this is a nice one that fills out most basic requirement specs:
- 4 pcs of RGB fan included (3 fr and 1 rr). Please note though, it's probably a basic fan that has max 1300rpm speed with loud noise.

- 159mm of CPU tower air cooler clearance, which means for most tower style cooler will be fit, especially Thermalright Peerless assassin (157mm) / Phantom spirit (154mm)

- If you want to use AIO, you can safely use up to 240mm AIO placement of radiator on the top side, or up to 360mm on the front side

- 310mm of GPU clearance, I can assure you, it's better to use 2 fan size GPU instead of 3 fan, cause it's really really tight space for you to move around and almost definitely you will scratch if you're using 3 fans GPU

- The material specs isn't mentioned on the amazon site, which means it's most likely a plastic material, but it's not a deal breaker. We just don't know the quality of the plastic material they use

That's a decent case. Here in asia, we also have that kind of cheap cases. Most likely, all come from a generic OEM china company. It will probably have some sharp edges and it might also be made from thin sheets. But overall, it would still feel solid. Since it's "mesh" it will have a good airflow. Depending on the fans you get, you might want to replace them. For budget build this would work well.

The 3600 should come with its own cooler that should be adequate if you dont want to spend the extra on a cooler, but if you do id go for a thermalright cooler, phantom spirit or if you cant get that peerless assassin is a slightly older version of that cooler as @ImWilly has said, or the SE versions are fine, theyre just slightly shorter versions. This cooler can be carried right up to current gen ryzens so youll never need to replace the cooler again if you get one of these.
