Well to be honest the 750ti was won as part as a competition and its early stats show plenty of head space for overclocking 10-20%, even without the over clock that model should run BF4 on ultra in and about 35- 40 fps.
Gaming is my main objective games like BF4 Dayz titanfall and LoL.
The motherboard supports SLI so my first upgrade would to be a 700 series card like the 770 and a water cooler.
My budget is not set in stone but it i have about 50-100€ for the case.

I would look at a Fractal Design. I just finished my first build, which was a mATX. I originally had a much cheaper case in my parts list but am really happy that I spent the $80 on the Fractal Design Arc Mini. I had to have USB 3.0 at the front and, although I didn't know it until I started building, I really needed the built in, front mounted fan controller. My board only had two fan heads (one for the CPU fan), so it was a must. It was these little things that were really "learn as you go" experiences for me. With the controller, I have the CPU and exhaust fan on the board and 3 others on the controller.

Also the Arc Mini has some nice features. My SSD mounted to the backside of the board plate, instead of in a cage. The cable management seems pretty good with the rubber grommets (although I have nothing to compare it to). And the fans and filters seem pretty good as well.

I've examined all three cases before coming here. The bitfenix is currently top of my list with the room for a water cooler, SLI and nice ascetics
As for the fractal and corsair I like the window but personally prefer the cube like mATX machines though I am not ruling any cases out
