All that high end components in a cheap case? Please don't do that. upgrade the case to at least a $75 case. You'll understand later. Btw, try pcpartpicker.com

This computer is going to be amazing, no matter what you throw at it. I assume you already have a spare, but Id recommend also having a Hardrive along with the SSD to provide additional mass storage.
I also assume you already know this, but since youre going to game with a computer as powerful as this; PLEASE have a monitor with a refresh rate of at least 144hz! It makes a world of difference.
Also, as the previous comment says, youd be better off buying a Deepcool Dukase or a NZXT S340 as your case. They are both great and fairly inexpensive.

Beside that, this PC will be smart, powerful and sexy as hell. Thats right; dont think I didnt notice that the color scheme matches.


Anyway good luck, and hope this helps.

Thanks for having a look. The case seems to be pretty good but it's definitely inexpensive. I felt like I was getting a great deal there. Do you know of a better case with a window that isn't overly expensive?

Good windowed cases at reasonable price:
Case: NZXT - S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ B&H)
Case: Phanteks - ECLIPSE P400 TEMPERED GLASS ATX Mid Tower Case ($79.99 @ Newegg)

Personally, the P400 is my favorite. I almost bought that instead of my InWin 303.
