try this bulid 575521

This case costs less and gives you better airflow. I also put a 2x 580 and it is still under your budget. You might have to get the 100w PSU. The PSU will take you over budget about $100

Ask DS specifically for this fan to be added to the top, so you endup with 4 x 200mm fans:

haf 200mm non led fan

cpu lc is not needed but if you still wanted to do it, then we would just change cooling in my config:

$2,911 Ticket Number: 575569

now look at those, keep in mind in either case you have better psu and cpu cooling and a bigger case vs the ode lvl 3, however price wise the ode 3 offers more for less, so its something to think about.
