what case would you recommend that isnt too pricey? I wanted the dragon rider because of the amount of fan i can use and its fairly cheap for a full tower case. Also i was planning to get the gtx670 but because gtx 660 ti is only around 15% less then a 670 and is $100 cheaper i might stick with that.

Also lol i wasnt trying to get any kind of theme just went with whatever was cheaper and efficent.

 

[hamzah5]

decided to go with the cooler master haf 932 advanced. Just curious on how many fans the case will come with.
