can i have you oppinions please, i mainly doubt about the case+power supply, TY ALL FOR UR TIME
 
Just read the only review of this case:

"When this case arrived it was not well built, the psu exploded, yes you heared me right it exploded and fried all my components except my Gtx 780 which doesnt fit in there so i tried me old HD 7870 which doesnt fit aswell!! Just dont waste your money on this!!"

And I agree, this is not only a bad case, it has the worst quality PSU as well.

Get a decent case from Corsair, Antec, Fractal, Coolermaster, Rosewill...

For PSU, get XFX Core 650W or Seasonic 650W. In fact, your computer can be run by a quality PSU of only 500W but get 650W for future upgrades if you can.

The only other component I would change here is the cooler, get Hyper 212X, it is better.
 
Get some 1800 or 1600Mhz RAM instead, Get a better budget case like a Zalman Z3 or Bitfenix Comrade and buy a PSU like the XFX 550W or 650W if you're overclocking. NEVER trust a PSU that ships with a case like the CIT horror that comes with the case you selected.
