Honestly, I like his Case better. The video card is cheaper, but it's one of the best price per performance options out there. The 270x will outperform it, but you are spending 65 dollars more for it, so up to you. I'd also buy a cooler as well, which I listed.

So, I'd swap to his case, decide if you are ok with saving some money and losing performance from the video card, or spending the 65 dollars more for better performance, and buy the cooler i listed. I would stick with my motherboard/ram though just for the cost savings.

Some changes to your build. Red ram was cheaper, so I switched the motherboard so it wouldn't clash. No loss in quality or performance, just money spent.

Not better than the Fractal Design Define R4. That is one hell of a case, honestly. Great cooling options, great cable management, and that version has good sound dampening qualities as well. That is the case I'd probably upgrade to if I could.

Cooler Master makes good cases, but at that price point the Fractal Design just plain beats it.
