I highly recommend Corsair's cases. I am using a white Corsair 600t graphite ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) case. All Corsair cases are super sturdy inside and they make sure here are no sharp edges.

that's more expensive, if budget is not a worry, then go for it, if not maybe a 560 c:

I have one 2GB PNY GTX670 ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) card. I can run anything on max graphics. If you're looking for some good deals on brand new parts check out HardOCP forums ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

Jk. Looks like a reasonable build. I've got to start setting up a build soon for about 1k. Gotta get a new job first.

Mac has no chance , I am not paying 1k more for something that does 50% less. Amongst other reasons , but that pretty much sums it up.
