I am building a cheap computer for gaming. Mainly Diablo III which from what I understand is relatively light. My budget is around ~400 and here is what I have so far...

What I need is advice on a case?
And advice on the fan? Do I need it?

Also what do you guys think of what I already have selected? Does it work well for what I want?

Thanks so much.
