Hey guys,

I'm looking for a good case under $80 for my gaming pc.
I'm getting an asrock extreme 4 or asus z87-a mobo and an evga acx oc edition gtx 780. I will SLI in the future so it will need some room for that as well. Hyper 212 evo, full modular psu, one ssd and one hdd(going get more later), one optical drive(probably won't buy another one).

It would be nice it it had at least 2 USB front panel ports(hopefully one of them USB 3.0), and 2 pre installed intake fans if possible.

I've been looking at :
Zalman z11 plus
Rosewill black hawk-blue
Zalman zm-z9 u3(black)


Thnx

Finding a gaming case under $80 is very doable. Here is a list of cases from pcpartpicker.com with some of the requirements you need. You can also add in what colors you want and what size of case you want. I would recommend getting a good case from a reputable brand like corsair, nzxt, phenteks, coolermaster, etc... Hope I helped!

Nice for the price,
It's all good but I would like, you know something with lights and a side panel. I've updated my first post(question), could you tell me which one is good?

This case does not have a side panel, but still looks very sleek and it also has five out of five stars. As for lighting I use this on my personal build: http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Technologies-5-25-Inch-Controller-8c-hue0000-00b/dp/B008RWT2IY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393736896&sr=8-1&keywords=nzxt+hue

This is better than any other lighting option because the color option is infinite, and there are also different color modes

As for cases with side panels:
http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-HAF-922-Computer/dp/B0026FCI2U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393737039&sr=8-1&keywords=haf+922

http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Elite-430-All-Black/dp/B00BCXF6KS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393737095&sr=8-1&keywords=pc+cases+with+side+panel

These are very good cases at this price point. What is nice about these side panels is that you can mount an intake fan directly on the window to better cool your gpu... The cases you listed in the original question are all good too. It mainly comes down to personal preference and your likes. Might I also mention, if you haven't built your rig yet, decide on a color scheme on your components. That way your rig will look just as good as it will perform!
(I wish I would of thought of this...)

Those look like great cases, considering the reviews. Since they are the same it basically comes down to personal preference. I would prefer the black one because black goes with more.

I agree, I was not very familiar with the brands since i usually stick with corsair but they looked like quality cases for the price.

Yes but some of them are over my budget, and the ones which arent't, dont have side panel or USB 3.0.

Well between the blackhawk and the enermax Id say go with the enermax since its in your budget an it comes with everything you was looking for like a side window, 2 usb 3.0 audio ports and it comes with 3 intake fans. And the BLACKHAWK is a really good case also like mentioned it has great airflow for good cooling, 2 usb 3.0 audio ports and comes with 5 intake fans. Now between appearance its all up to you :)
