This is my build.

Thermaltake
Overseer RX-I Snow Edition
vs
NZXT
Phantom 530 (White)

Which one would you suggest? Or maybe you know other cases which are white and have blue led fans built-in?

Going by this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=-1&IsNodeId=1&Description=NZXT%20Phantom%20530&bop=And&CompareItemList=-1|11-133-213^11-133-213-TS%2C11-146-105^11-146-105-TS&percm=11-146-105%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24

I'd say the thermaltake. A case is really about personal preference; most $100 cases will have the same features but look different.

Changed some minor things. Same quality Psu, slightly less money and more wattage. You'll get better performance from this Ram than the one you have chosen. DDR3 2133 CAS 11 won't perform as well as 1866 CAS 9. And it's slightly cheaper.

My friend owns a phantom and he loves it.

Swap the WD blue for a WD black. The blue has bleh performance.

No way. The Black would be a good investment if that's your only HDD, but as a mass storage non-main game or OS drive it isn't worth it. Certainly not worth the money spent over the Blue. A Seagate Barracuda would be another option as well.

thanks alot for all the advices. im going to use my pc for games, mainly about 75% of the time for dayz standalone and some new titles like the division, h1z1 and maybe bf4. Im going to play on 1080p screen but im planning to get 1440p one around september time. Do you think this pc is not enough/too much to run dayz on max settings? Priority is dayz, then the other games.

I was under the assumption that games would go onto it, Either way it will be faster, but for mass storage that is not gaming or programs that need the speed, a blue is fine.

As for Dayz, the problems you may face will be due to the game engine and not to do with your build
