Wouldn't get that case, go with the Zalman z9, it's $10 more but that $10 will go a long way

The board is known to have a high failure rate and putting heatsinks on a junk VRM won't fix the problem. Also, if you're not going to get an aftermarket heatsink, it makes AMD more of a bad choice. I'd change to an i3-3220, Asrock B75M-GL, Rosewill HIVE-550, Gigabyte 7870 (not really necessary, but the performance will be a bit better), and 8GB of the cheaper G.Skill Value RAM.
