Can you guys tell me a good gaming case? I want a case with a nice air flow system and with window if possible. My budget is about 70$. I live in Portugal and the prices here are different and some cases that many people use are not avaliable here, so can you guys help me choosing a nice case?

Thanks
 
Solution
The XFX 550w PSU should handle your system and should hold up when overclocking. The Corsair 200R is a great case for the money, you could also look for a Cooler Master HAF 912.
Well, this isn't about the case, but there are a few things I wanna point out...
1) there's no gpu listed, which is a necessity for a gaming pc
2) do not get a cx750! It uses cheap capacitors, it's loud, and some have some kind of coil whine, just to name a few things. Also, a 750w PSU in the first place is completely unnecessary for this build.
 
Perhaps this will be a better option:

The graphic card isnt there because I already have it. And will not be buying a new graphic card. My current is Asus Geforce GTX 660 ti 3GB.
About the PSU, I really dont know anything about that, so can you suggest me a good case and a good PSU aswell?
 
Can any1 tell me if the XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply will handle my build?
I plan to OC later when this builds starts to get a bit older.
Also can any1 tell me if the Corsair Carbide 200R is a nice case or should I go for a better one?
