I have 4 questions if you could offer some assistance with any that would be great!

1) Is my planned motherboard a good choice? (I cant find many reviews online for the standard version, just the thunderbolt/gaming versions)

2) Will a case with sidefans be benificial or are side fans even a big help? (I read they're only good for extra gpu cooling and I think my gpu has adequate cooling, twin frozr IV)

3) Could you recommend a few cases with good airflow less than £75

4) is my planned PSU good enough to run this.

build plan:
CPU: i5 3570k (going to run with stock cooler without overclocks for a while until i can afford a better cpu cooler)
Mobo: Msi z77a-g45
Ram: 8gb corsair vengance
video card: msi gtx 670 power edition (oc out of box) with twin frozr IV cooling
psu: corsair cx600m
