What case is best? budget no more than £35

Solution
I'm sorry this doesn't directly answer your question but I would urge you to save a little bit more towards a case, at that price (speaking from experience owning 4 budget cases because of the price to chop up / modify) the quality just isn't there, especially considering the components you want to install. You'd end up with cheap thin, flimsy steel and brittle plastics.

For £55-60 you could get the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M, the NZXT S340 or Fractal Define S. (Phanteks although good is not budget friendly with only 1 fan pre-installed and the S340 or Define S will give you 2)

About the fans, it just depends on the case, some will provide you with 1 or 2 (intake, exhaust), some will give you 1 or none. At the £35 range the fans will also...

Minimum I would have to say at least 1 in and 1 out.

Have a watch of this though; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OmkmluAYAQ he starts the actual testing at around 6:10.

Sort of depends again if you want possitive, negative or neutral case pressure (possitive is more in than out, negative is the reverse and neutral is equal). I like to keep things equal and run 3 in 3 out. But from the video I think 4 would be a good place to be at 2 in 2 out.
