So im thinking about buying these parts to make a PC for casual gaming (call of duty, LoL, crysis, gta 5 and so on) for at night when i get home from going out. I just need a few comments from people who can tell me what im better off switching out for something else and also i need hep choosing a case.
Here are the parts:

CPU - AMD FX 8350
GPU - Asus AMD Radeon HD 7970
Motherboard - Asus M5A78L
RAM - 8GB 1600Mhz Ripjaws X DDR3
SSD - Kingston 120GB
HDD - Seagate 1TB 7200rpm
PSU - Corsair CXM 600w

i have a budget of 640 total and have 72 left over for a case. So what parts should be swapped out and what case do you recommend

So, your budget is around 715GBP? If so, you'd be better with something like this;

That is similar to the build I'm getting, just without 4 extra case fans and a spare SSD. The Intel CPU is going to be a better choice. The Z97 chipset mobo allows you to upgrade to a 5th gen Intel CPU once they're released in 2015 if needed/wanted. A larger SSD(extra storage is always a bonus). A case included in your total budget which I have heard is quite nice(also has good cable management apparently). Faster RAM and a better GPU is also included in the build I have suggested.
