Hey guys, this is going to be my first PC building. I have been getting help from friends around me and got to this point so far:

CPU: i5-4670
MB: Z87
Graphic Card: HD 7870
PSU: HX 650 (gold)
CPU COOLER: H55 Cooler
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB
HDD: WD black 1TB
CD: Samsung 24X DVD writerSH-224DB

As you can see, the missing parts are RAM and Case. Please suggest your recommendations.

It seems that 8GB RAM's all fall into similar price range. And at some point in the past I heard that RAM is not the deciding factor in computer performance.

As for the case, I am looking for a decent one with good air flow and noise reduction. This could be a very open ended question but I just want to hear your suggestions as a good starting point.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, HAF912 is one of my good candidate. As for your RAM recommendation, what is the need to go for 1866? Based on Intel's recommendation, 1600 is the max you can go unless you OC.
