I'm building my first gaming rig (very excited!). I've pulled the trigger on a Sapphire Radeon Fury R9 and an ATX motherboard (ASrock Extreme4). The processor will be forthcoming, and will almost certainly be an i5 6600k. This will be for 1080p 60Hz gaming, because that's the monitor I can afford--just fyi. What mid-tower case under $100 would you recommend? I've looked at the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M, the Corsair Carbide 400R, the Fractal Define S, and the Cooler Master HAF 912 (not sure if that one can handle the GPU size).

The Radeon Fury is a monstrous 300mm long. The case has to fit that. Thanks so much in advance for the help. I've looked at so many cases, I've gotten myself seriously confused :p.

The Thermaltake Suppressor F31 is the one that I've got, and I like it a lot, it has good cooling capabilities, and I have an Asus 7970 Matrix in there which is another huge card, so it would certainly fit a Fury. I bought it for around £65 a year ago, so it should be about $100 in the US now. Though you have to keep in Ming that it's one of the bigger cases, you could definitely find something smaller that would still fit a 300mm card.

I'll definitely look at the Suppressor F31--thank you! Does it come with fans? I'm concerned about the Fury R9 running hot, although much of what I've read says the Sapphire R9's not bad. A power drinker at around 300w (400 overclocked). Getting a big'un 850 PSU to be safe. I did like the Corsair 400R's 3 fans, but not sure if they're necessary/will do what I want. Or maybe I'm needlessly worrying about cooling.

It comes with 2 fans, I added 4 more, put those 2 in the front, and installed 3 140mm fans on the top and 1 at the back, with a corsair H90 for the CPU. All of them are running very slow, so you'd be fine with fewer fans, but I like it this way. Also, you shouldn't have any problems with the GPU, mine doesn't go over 75°C, and it's running at 1100Mhz overclocked, so needs around 300W too. But I don't agree with youth PSU choice. I have a Corsair RM550 and it's doing fine, even with my Xeon E5-2670 which has a 115W TDP. So even if you are overlooking the GPU, 650W, or 700W at most should be enough. And you could buy the extra fans from the price difference.
