Default Good gameing case for under $50
Hello.

I would like some advice about what case to get. I need one that can handle a corsair 650w PSU, a 8800 GTS G92 Video Card, and an EVGA 780I motherboard, without being too hot or tight. I am considering this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811147059 and would like to know what you all think.

Has to be new though, and yours would put me over budget at that price. If I was going to spend over $100 on a case I think I would get that antac I have heard so much about. So what good gamer cases are their in the $50 dollar range new? And is the rosewell one good? Shipping puts it over though

This is a case for the same price as the one you picked out. Its a better case that will allow better airflow to keep your components cooler.

I agree with Zaxbys. I built my brother a computer using a simular case, (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119068) and it is awsome
