well going under the NZXT Source 210 Elite is really too low for a case. going under and you will probably have shody cooling and cable management.

Referring to your original post, there aren't that many (if any) entry level cases with USB 3.1 (type c) on the front.  Typically 3.0 is fine for the front port, and is what's normally included.  Any devices that you may want plugged into a 3.1 to take advantage of the high bandwidth, you'll probably want plugged in directory to your motherboard.

 

As for finding a cheap case:

You could try a cheaper brand like Apevia, DIYPC, Raidmax, etc.  You can find roomy enough cases on the low end, but typically they'll cheap out on thickness and quality of the metal, included fans, paint, etc.  Check reviews, because they can have their good models and bad models. 

 

I agree with 007 that the Source is really your best option on a budget.  There's also the Corsair Carbide Spec-02 and Thermaltake h22 at around the same price if you are interested in a side window.  You don't want to go super cheap on the case when you already have really high end components  And if you're already bothering with a gtx 1080, what's a little extra for your case and psu? They are pretty important and commonly underestimated in the build.

 

Power supply wise, absolute cheapest you want to go is an evga b, but the new Corsair CXM (450/550/650) or a Seasonic s12ii will do you better with a 5 year warranty to boot.

well its a typo that GTX 1080 . He is going for the gtx 1060 and has a budget of below 100 USD left with him

Got it.

You could try this enermax: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811124166&ignorebbr=1

I'm not particularly keen on enermax cases, but this one has good reviews.

 

I've also used the Tesseract, which has sorta flimsy front panel guards, but it's not bad at the price (decent size/airflow):

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811853004

 

That's all I got.  And now I've lost cred for suggesting such cheap cases.

There are literally no budget mid towers with 3.1.  3.0 maybe, but not cheaper than ~$40.

Also I was thinking of the Tesseract SW.  My bad.

Yep.  Unless you start looking at micro towers (which won't fit your motherboard).  Cases are tough to really get that cheap because of shipping cost.

 

Honestly USB 3.0 speeds rarely get reached unless you have an external SSD you plan on using, and your motherboard will still have the 3.1 port.  Just something to keep in mind.

Well yeah he has an SSD and will the Mobo be able to utilize its usb 3.1 at least in the back ??? and will it allow the use of usb 3.0 in the front ???

Yeah the usb 3.1 will be in the back of the mobo.  The front panel will be whatever the case allows (2.0 or 3.0).
