I'm building my first PC, and im trying to find a case where all of my stuff will fit in correctly (and a good cooling fan as well). I'm also trying to find one with a clear side panel to show it off a little. I prefer the case and fan be below $70 dollars each.  What are some recommendations?

 

what will be inside:

Motherboard: ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING

Processor: Intel I7 6700k

Ram: G.SKILL Aegis 16GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400

Power Supply: EVGA SUPERNOVA 750 G2

Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 1070 GAMING BLOWER

Hard Drive: WD Blue 1TB HARD DRIVE

By 'cooling fan', I assume you meant the CPU cooler.

 

I suggest the Fractal Design Define S and the beQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
