Looks good to me, will be leagues ahead of current PC so should be a nice upgrade.

Thanks could you recommend a case that would be good for this setup. I just want something with usb 3 on it.

Take your pick

All have atleast 2 USB3 ports.

Not huge on cases but Fractal, CoolerMaster, Corsair, BitFenix, Nanoxia, Silverstone or Thermaltake all make pretty sound cases.

Not sure what you want to spend on a case but a good, solid & cheap case would be the Fractal Design Core 2300 for about €50 delivered - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fractal-Design-Core-2300-Case/dp/B00KXY7Q5A/

Also Thermaltake Versa H25 is good value at about €44 delivered - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thermaltake-Versa-Tower-Case-Window/dp/B00UOULH4O/ (windowed version is cheaper for some reason)
