This is the first Gaming PC I will have ever built. Please correct any mistakes I have made.
I have an $850 budget not including Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, etc. On these items I have spent $700 so far. I am looking for a Motherboard and case that fits within the rest of my budget. Thanks for anyone who helps.

Intel Core i5-4690K(CPU)

Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Tri-X OC(GPU)

G. Skills Ripsaw X series 8GB(RAM)

Western Digital Blue(1TB Hardrive)

EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750W 80+ Bronze(Power Unit)

Case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853004&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853003&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

to allow for longer video card.

would HIGHLY suggest getting the cpu cooler since you're getting an unlocked cpu, and a z97 board TO more successfully overclock...

down the road you can always get a new case
