Alright, I managed to have this build of mine sorted out: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/1AFpr

I am new to this and I managed to make this through my research and some feedback.

But I'm not sure of the case. As the title says, I need a good gaming pc - one that can be allowed to upgrade future components, allow very good airflow buuuut quiet... if that's possible :3

I am going to overclock (well...try) my CPU and GPU so I don't know what is really recommended.

Thanks in advance

A nice build.
I think the case is good, and will do the job.
Noise comes from fans running at high rpm's.
The included 140mm fans should be adequate.
Your 4670K is very competent at stock, Take what a conservative overclock gives you. So long as you stay under 1.2v, you will run cool enough. That will probably be about 4.0-4.2 depending on your luck with the chip sample.

If I might make a suggestion, look at the GTX770 superclocked with a titan blower style cooler.
That will send the hot graphics air directly out the back of the case. The acx coolers are efficient, but they depend on more case cooling. Look for this unit if you can find it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130939

Damn, that's very nice but I can't find it anywhere for myself :( Could the one I am going to buy still good? Or is there another one?

A regular blower cooler is still good like this one: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp42771kr
The cards themselves will all perform about the same, just minor differences in how much factory overclock you get.
I don't put much stock in overclocking a graphics card. The best chips are selected by vendors to get factory overclocks so they can be sold at a premium. Really, any GTX770 will be very good.

As you said there isn't any major differences between these cards but, could you talk more of the minor? I mean like, how good is this one compared to the one I chose? Why do you recommend that one instead of the other one? (Besides the cooling... unless that's the only reason :3)

Cards will be using the same chips and underlying components. Differentiation is cosmetics and coolers. Much is made of performance differences based on synthetic benchmarks measured in FPS. But, a user will be hard pressed to detect the differences in actual gameplay. At any price point, you will get fair value. The value of stronger cards gets slimmer as you increase the price. Another option is a factory overclock. Vendors are wise to this and select the best chips capable of a factory overclock. You usually get fair value here too. If support is important to you, visit the vendor support forum and see how well they do.
Don't anguish much over this, you can hardly go wrong.
