So I'm working on putting together a good build list that's not super expensive($800) for a friend (his wife). Although she likes the smaller cases and wants to get a microATX case and she's has picked this one specifically http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=11-208-053. Which I'm not to sure about, seems like its good case and has good room for airflow and such. Personally I would go with a bitfenix. I'm not very familiar with micro atx motherboards and build setups. If anyone could help give me some ideas that would be great! This is going to be a PC geared around some gaming mostly guild wars 2, league of legends as well as adobe CC and some other designing software.
Thanks!

Edit* case is Xeon Xon 560WT
 
OK - Xeon Xon 560WT - an odd choice - its not a mainstream case.

Maybe try http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129044 instead
