So I want to get the Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 motherboard but im not sure what case for a afforable price I should get.. To be honest im not sure if I need a case that has as many USB ports as the motherboard and such... So if someone could help me pick a case for my build that would be awesome!

thanks

If you want to spend a little less, this:

Case: Rosewill Line ATX Mid Tower Case ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Case Fan:...
The Phantom is a good case. I'd NEVER pay that kind of money for it when I can get the Phanteks Enthoo Pro or Luxe for the the same price or in the case of the Pro, much less. Even the Rosewill Thor V2 is comparable and about fifty bucks less.

As for being "affordable, as mentioned in the original post, I don't think it qualifies. Affordable, to most builders, especially if they're asking for advice, is sub-70.00, and usually below fifty. But, since the OP hasn't returned to offer a budget, it's hard to say.

At 50 bucks or less I'd recommend the Rosewill Challenger, which comes with all the necessary case fans unlike almost every other brands budget cases.

At 50 to 100 bucks, I'd recommend the Cooler Master Storm Enforcer.

At 100 bucks I'd recommend either the Rosewill Thor V2 or Phanteks Enthoo Pro.

Beyond 100 bucks, but without going into very high end cases, I'd recommend the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe.
