Other details hey so I'm building my first pc, im still studying so i wasn't expecting to do it right now but my dad was like "hey i can get you one since your graduating" so thats where we start back on july where i did a little of research. Being clear I don't mind like Ultra gaming, literally my current pc its a laptop with hd graphics and an intel 5 4200U so yeah, for gaming im happy with 1080 for playing with my friends cause well, im kinda an artist so for my my priorities are on the multitasking and the big canvas ability. So started this month with the shopping and we already have a mechanical keyboard for 20$ on prime day (originally 60$) ryzen 7 5800xt for 140$ (i now its am4 but was a good offer and don't mind at all), a segotep cn650w (kinda overkill and rare brand but in my mind was nice also the first thing we got) for 40$ and now we're aiming for the motherboard, theres a gigabyte b550 if im not wrong on amazon usa for 89$.  Sounds really god for the price right? Well turns out our country its pretty bad for getting things from amazon so my dad had to ask for them via a shipping company to be able to buy on usa store, the problem its that he get a tax for 7$ each pound of the package so we end up spending almost 100$ only for receiving the stuff so yeah...not great. Seeing that i decided to use some of my "university money" and buy a second hand nvme adata legend 800 1tb for 50$ out of the budget cause I don't feel right making my dad buying all that stuff all alone (also storage? Pretty expensive here, that was a miracle to get). So i manage to save 60$ and was thinking if i wanna spend that on 32gb of ddr4 ram for 65$ or trying to buy a case on my own, my problem with that its that here its only a good pc components store where the brand stuff its kinda overpriced and the cheap things are from brands that i have no clue if those cases are good at all ( i put the web if your curious enough attached with the case that my dad wanted to buy since its from a good brand but its like 95$. https://www.sicsa.com.ni/producto/producto-22/ btw nio its the coin here its like 36 for usd.). Also on marketplace there are some gpus, like rx 6600 normally at 230$ but sometimes appears a shiny one for 180$, then its also the 1660ti at 140-160$ and some rx 7600 for 250$. So yeah i just wanna know what guys think of all this? Im kinda getting the dilemma about what to do for supporting my dad with the build but its kinda stressing having like not at all decent options. Sorry if its to much text. Thankiu for reading even if you feel like not able to throw ideas, typing helps me to take a break of all this.

There are some but don't know if they're any good, the major of them are models that I don't know at all and the sellers mostly here don't wanna get questions about it. All of them are templed glass. Also they're listed with a C but the prices are on usd, sellers are too lazy and don't put it right lol (expect for the 1500 one, that's like 40$ )

well you want something with mesh front with out anything blocking it.

then if you want something better something with a mesh front and bottom fans intake for gpu. then even better something with say 3 fans front and 3 fans top 3 fans bottom and 1 fan back. having fans on the side instead of the front can work too but not as good if it has front fans. top fans not as useful but in case you want to add a 360 aio. sound like a cheap build and think cooler would be fine is my guess.

 

most case come with crap fans low rpms non pwm but if you did find a case with pwm argb fans can save some money but ied say just buy then sepritly.

 

you need a case that can fit the gpu length and depending on cooler height.

 

the top to added more exhaust fans you top back fan can help well the top front fan intake middle fan empty or intake or exhaust

case like this: 3 bottom fans, 2 side fans 3 top fans 1 back fan.

then like this same but has the psu on the side

 

then this 3 bottom 3 side 3 top 1 back side psu more fans normally higher cost.

 

another one but no psu on the side but bottom but bottom fans too.

 

one with only 2 side fans

 

one with a curved side not as good as a front mesh but better then side fans.

 

45 front fans between side and front ised say.

 

one with big front fans psuh lots of air

 

mesh front but no bottom fans

 

mesh all around

 

really nice big mesh case (also has 2x 5.25 hiden...)

 

really nice mesh side pannel only cae i no of that has it other then small ff cases.

 

45 corner

 

basic mesh front case
