Hey guys i am looking for a case that can fit my 970 Amp Omega edition. Is there such a case that is cheap and still have great air flow? I am now using my motherboard box to sit my mobo as like a test bench. It is running hot around 70c when playing Dead Rising 3 so its throttling. I am considering Bitfenix Comrade as it looks good and its very spacious but im afraid that my graphics card wont fit in. I have tried looking at their site but no details on what GPU length it can support. Give me ideas please!! Im going to buy it asap. My budget is around 40$ or more or less 1600P. I am located in the Philippines if that would help.

The case, according to most reviews, can fit cards upto 300mm with ease. The GPU mentioned is smaller in length so it'll fit w/o issues.

70 degrees C on a graphics card is NOT hot.
Normally you just want them to stay under 95C.

What is your FULL system spec? EXACT PSU model please.
Also check your CPU temps.

Corsair 200R is a great budget case with good airflow. I've seen it as low as $29.95 on sale. Not sure what the price would be in Philippines.

The CPU will bottleneck the GPU pretty bad in intensive titles. Not the best PSU, average quality, but would do.

Are you sure? I estimated the length of my card which may be around 11.5 inches converted it to mm its around 11.811mm will that small gap be a problem for airflow? Will fitting it be a problem if ever?

Some reviews to back up my claim:
http://www.pcgameware.co.uk/reviews/cases/bitfenix-comr...
http://www.maximumpc.com/bitfenix_rolls_out_comrade_enc...

Also, 11.5" is 292mm approx in length.

It should fit w/o issues. The airflow is not the best from sides, but rather on top and bottom, and from side panel fans too, if the case supports it.

I know, would upgrade later this Christmas. Dont k now what i am going to get and could you further explain why the PSU is bad? Got it for around a hundred bucks kinda expensive. I was deciding about cs or the cx one but decided to go with the CS because as i have read it was better and i cant look for any good reviews on Thermaltake PSUs and other brands. (May be too expensive/ No supply here/ No good review or legit review)

Firstly, CS is not bad, okish quality, but there are far too many PSUs of better quality for less price to consider it great. Also, CX is awful, and any PSU from a good reliable brand ought to be better than that, it isn't much sense in comparing it with CX or against Thermaltake (poor PSU brand). But there are worse PSUs out there, and the specific one you have can handle your rig pretty fine, so don't worry.

Oh okay, thought it was something serious. I hope to make it last for around 3 yrs max before replacing it. Thank you again sir for your answers :)
