Hey guys I have 3 questions about my around 700 dollars build
1. Do I really need a case for my gaming build
2. What's the best build I can get for my $700
3. What's the cheapest mechanical keyboard in the market (it doesn't matter if it's a totally unknown brand) (really the cheapest keyboard possible)
Thanks

I would not reccomend skimping on a keyboard simply because it would either mean non-cherry switches, which are usually bad, or bad quality. The cheapest one I would recommend is this one:
