Hello all,

 

Would there be enough airflow in this case?

 

It has a 120mm intake (minorly restricted) in the front, and an 80mm fan as exhaust.

 

Stock cooler on CPU and maybe a 750 ti / 265 one day.

are those the only possible places for fans in the case or can you add more? a single 80mm  isnt going to be that nice but it will do

That's all that's stock.

I could cut fan holes in the side panel, but I was hoping to put a window in instead.

only two places for fans? thats terrible, if I were you, I would get a case which supports 5 or more fans

Free vs spending money ^_^

 

The case is an old Dell case, for a very budget build.

Depends on case. How much space you have between GPU and sidepanel? If you are in any case going to mod sidepanel, I suggest you make window plus have place for passive cooling or for fan.

corsair 450D for under $100

I haven't spent more than $50 on this build so far.

I don't plan to spend anything on the case.

 

$100 is over double my current output. (The only thing I have left is to get a HDD)
