That is my build I was wondering if that would be a good case or not feel free to post any other opinions on my build on what to change.
Also, keep in mind i would like it if the case was under 100$ dollars.
On my build add a k70 keyboard too.

Please, and thank you, I appreciate your responses.

Case looks fine to me, I would look for cheaper ram though. Try to look on NewEgg for ram between $75 and $90

Changed out your ram and SSD:

I'd use the $100 saved on an i7 6700k, although they all seem to be sold out right now... Or spend a bit more and get the GTX 980 Ti.

The case you have listed will work, just have to remove some of the bays for the video card to fit. Not a big deal.

This is also a good case if you don't care for removing bays:

Why did you change out the SSD? Just asking.

Derza10 · Dec 3, 2015

It is over all faster by about 20%, and the same price:

Ignore the $110 price of the SanDisk, that is a sale on newegg and they are out of stock.

Oh, ok makes sense, Also do you know of a 1440p monitor that is under 500$ Would that even make sense in this build?

Derza10 · Dec 3, 2015

Here is a good one for $400:

1440p is a perfect resolution for a gtx 980.

Huh, that's actually the one I was looking at before. Nice.
So everything else in my build is just fine, I suppose?
