Why such an expensive case? It's almost the most expensive piece. You could save like $30 on that one.
And get a better graphics card. That is terrible. Not only it is overpriced as hell, it is old and even for its time it was the low bottom.
If you can't spend more, save on other stuff like, for instance, the case and get a better graphics card.

How often do you suspect you'll be staring at your case on those cold, lonely nights?
Buy a case that fits the use-case:
I use a Bitfenix Prodigy and have an mITX-sized motherboard. One GTX 680 is all I need and I have long since given up on trying to futureproof computers. Every few years I upgrade and the only parts I occasionally get to salvage are the hard drives/SSDs and sometimes the video card.

I would go with Hitachi, but with a bigger one. At least 2 TB. No big cost difference. I don't know how it goes in other countries, but in mine Hitachi gives you 3 years guarantee while samsung and wd only 2 years or 1 year. BTW wd green series is one of the slowest hdds on the market. Hitachi have the best performance/price.

Like others have said, please get a cheaper case. You can find one on eBay for $1 Brand New (not kidding) and see if they have local shipping. Switch to a better video card and buy dual channel ram. 4GB x 2 is faster than 8GB x 1. Also wait until Black Friday, prices will drop at least 50%.

If you want to be a little more future proof I'd got for the 8core, i think last i looked it was about 50 more.
You should also check out their forums and ask there as there is plenty of experts and people that know their tech to date.

Is this a decent build for my price range?
