Yes..it will provide excellent cooling for your rig.

You can mount 7 fans...120mm x 6, and one smaller one.

Price is: ~Rs 4200

Its best for any rig.
But doesn't come under ur budget.
Its AFAIK over 5k

Try CoolerMaster Elite 330 or a few of same Elite series.

CM 690 minimum price is 4.5k (tax extra) afaik. For 2k budget you can look at high end zebronics cabinets and Cooler master Elite series cabinets.

There are two editions for CM690.

1 . The standard version (black) for approx 4.2K or 4.2K+350 for transparent side panel.
2. nVidia edition -- which is around 12K. This will burn the hole...! :) :)

Well get this.... CM690 comes in three types:
CM690 normal one's come around 4.3K.
CM690 with transparent side panel around 4.7K.
CM690 nVidia edition comes for 6.8K. All prices are Mumbai one's. So if you are in some other city it may vary!

None of the cabinets are within 2K. So either increase your budget or say bye bye to it!
Around 2K the best one you can get would be CM Elite 335.
