Hello. I'm building a gaming PC, and I've already ordered all of the parts a couple days ago. After ordering these parts, I researched the case a little. GIGABYTE GZ-F5HEB

At the surface, it had 4 egg out of 5 reviews. The problem is, I've heard some "horror stories" of people getting cut inside the case and that it is bad. Will this case be okay for a gaming rig?
P.S. I ordered an extra 92mm fan to add into it for airflow.

Nope. Only if the item is returned due to it being defective. You can contact them via email and tell them you want to return it for a better case and would they send you a free shipping link to print a label. It's worth a try. But don't get your hopes up.

Yes, but I can RMA it... I'm just wondering if I can get by with it or if I NEED to RMA it.

Oh, you can get by with it. But it will be less than ideal. About what you'd expect for a $30 case... maybe a little less than you'd expect. If you can raise your budget for a case to ~$50, I'd leave the case unopened, RMA it, and order a different one.
Here's some better choices under $50: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007583%2050002120%2050002177%2050001516%2050008791%204025%20600029808%20600053918&IsNodeId=1&name=XION
Always get a case with a bottom mount PSU for gaming. What is the rest of your system? Do you have a higher budget?

If I return it, what should I do to not pay for shipping?

Well, does Newegg offer free shipping on RMAs? Thats where I got the case from. Shipping would be a little expensive. The case is coming from California to NJ
