Choose any case, it can temporary. Mostly it's just a house for all of your parts

1) Your processor is and AMD processor and your motherboard has an intel socket.
2) You would save alot of money not buying an operating system but using Ubuntu Linux instead, but, since you're playing call of duty windows is fine.
3) The hard drive is nice, but seagate drives are just as fast and cost much less.
4) The power supply is overkill.
5) The case is complete trash (no cable management or USB 3.0)
6) The graphics card is shit. If you're using this card, you use for light gaming or hybrid crossfire, not for call of duty.
7) Do you really, really need an optical drive?
8) I'd reccomend 8GB of memory for gaming.

If I were to blow $520 on a gaming PC, I'd buy this:
