Case & PSU Suggestions

AimlessFlame

I am looking for a case and psu for my new build. The case must support ATX mobo, and if possible have at least 3 fans. I dont care much about looks and don't really need a window in it. If the case doesnt come with any fans please suggest me some good fans that wont leave me homeless. For the psu I will be running an i5 6500 and an rx 480, probably in the future I'll do crossfire so I might need some headroom. PSU at least semi modular please. I have been looking all day but havent found anything that convinces me so you guys are my last hope!

 

Budget for case= max 60$

Budget for PSU= max 80$ 

 

If you want you can balance both budgets to what you think deserves more investment.

Great case and great PSU (it's technically semi-modular but only the 24pin is connected so it's basically fully modular.)

You sir deserve a cookie :D The only problem is that I can only buy through amazon since I dont live in the US, I can cover the psu and the case but in amazon there is only 1 case left so if you could suggest me an extra case that would be awesome! You know, just in case theres no stock :P

Oh, maybe the 600C or S340 or a few other random ones, I personally prefer the Define S over everything else though.
