Also, if there's any case that's cheaper or around the same price than that and has good ventilation, USB 3.0, and decent cable management, I'd welcome any suggestions.

Windowed version of the case for 3 dollars more. Slightly higher clocked 770 for less money. Higher wattage Psu, semi-modular, and silver certified for a little more money. 2133mhz Ram for 5 dollars more.

Overall, 3 dollars less than the build you had listed after changing it all around though.
