That would be your best bet IMO. My friend has one of those and has a GTX 285 in it so your good for space. Only two fans but from what I saw at that price 2 is all your getting.

Any three of these are good.

It's a little over your budget, but it's one of the best cases for under $100.

690 is $20 cheaper here due to free shipping: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Centurion-Tower-Black/dp/B000V95YOC Little over $80 and free shipping.

In fact the Antec 300 and CM 590 are also cheaper on Amazon.

now im not so sure which to get, the 590 690 and three hundred were the three i had in mind before i ever asked the question, now i dont know which would be the best air flow, and if the 690 is worth the $20 premium over the three hundred and 590

if you have an MC near you check out the 590 and 690 in person, you will probably prefer one over the other. I personally liked the interior of the 590 more.

If you can afford it get the RC-690. It hold up to seven fans so you can have your premium airflow, and it is a very good case. it is roomy enough to support any video card as well.

On the Cooler Master cases you can add an optional 4-in-3 hard drive cage to accomodate up to 8 and 9 drives, respectively, if that is also something you are looking into. But any one of the 3, the Antec 300, the CM 590 and the CM 690 should be fine for a regular build.

The 590 and the 690 are much better than the 300, especially if you are planning to use long graphics cards.
