Need advice on what case to choose, also a general build sense check.

First time builder, I have got all the parts chosen apart from the case, which I can't decide on.

Build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/mDyKd6

I can't decide between the corsair 250R and 700D, the 700 has the extra space and dust filters but don't know if this is needed and is worth the extra £70. Or if there is any other cases that are good and will fir my build that'd be nice.

I know the build might not be optimized very well, but I like the feeling that I chose most of the parts, after reviews and everything, but if there is anything glaring wrong I'm all ears.

Thanks in advance

Case size is really up to you but you picked a full tower and a small case, why not a mid-size one? I like the Phanteks Enthoo models https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811854042 Did you check if your cooler with fit in the smaller case? I would also get a larger SSD, 500 GB is good, no sense in having a high end system with not a lot of fast storage for programs to load from.

Also cheap 2W speakers? Unless you are going to be using headphones/heatset most of the time you'd want something better there. And maybe get a BluRay drive for movies.
