This one would come with 3 fans, correct?

Jes, as far as i know - 2 in front with LEDs and one at rear ... and 3 optional ( 2 at top, one at botom )

So I've been looking for a new case as my current case doesn't have very good air-flow.

I was looking at Air 240 but just read that it has a LOT of problems with GPU's not fitting.

Anything anyone else would suggest? PC stats/parts are in the signature~

Any and all help appreciated!

I would prefer to stay under $90 if at all possible.

This seems to be a good one; would it be easy to mod-in a window on it?

Astetic - preaty good, as far as cooling goes - i would sugest to change fans wright away ... even IF they will not be loud at the begining, they WILL get loud after time ... but ower all - not that bad

BLARG. I need one thats good as is from the get-go. Willing to go to $100 now though due to having a full day of OT where I work (~$120 before taxes)

The only way I can see a you not fitting in a 240 is if you have a rad in the front

Multiple reviews state the GPUs have no room...

Like width on a strix card with the heat pipes?

A few said the power cord for 960's get flattened.

EDIT: DURP. They were talking about other cards. 

So you think this one would be good then? Enough fans? Needs better fans?
