ATX Case and fans for new PC Build

ChileanFox

Hi guys, not long ago i bought the parts for my new build, i got them in US thanks to my dad and im in Chile so i'll have to buy the case here, can you help me choose a good ATX model? Here are some national stores that sell cases:

i found one that looks good for 100 bucks, its a corsair Spec 03:

what do you think? it seems it will fit the M9i cooler and the 1070
Also i should get 2 140mm fans since the ones included in the cases are lame, which ones you'd recommend?

A Cryorig M9i cooler would definitely fit. Even a beefier HSF as big as Cryorig H7 would fit just fine (did a little specs crosscheck between Corsair & Cryorig website). As for the fans, you could go with Corsair, Fractal Design, BeQuiet, Cryorig, or if you want a more expensive one, you could get Noctua fans.
Either an optimized airflow or static pressure type would not yield a very noticeable difference (if i'm not wrong, Luke already tested that tho, in a big case like this one, the cabling and another peripherals would not hamper the airflow), so you definitely could get an optimized airflow fans, or go for static pressure fans (between the two type, there's quite a difference in price, sometimes airflow fans are cheaper). Just remember not to pick a cheapo 3-pin fan, since that Gigabyte board got up to 5 fan header (1 CPU, 1 Waterpump, 3 sys-fan), all PWM, so be sure to utilize those PWM headers to it's full potential.
As for 1070, yeah, it would fit (again, checked on Corsair's web).

the noctuas are too much i think for 40 bucks, i rather spent 16 at most on each fan, some are even on discount .
What do you think about the case?
thanks for your help amigos!
