    Just to bump this since you edited in the filled out form.
    If your not looking for a GPU those parts are good.

    As for a case it comes down to what you like, here is a few good cases,
    Fractal Design R3
    Corsair Obsidian 550R
    Corsair Obsidian 650D
    Corsair Obsidian 600R

    I'm at work so can't go browsing hwvs for links, sorry.
