Is this case good for my build?

Yes it's a decent case. At that price it's perhaps a little expensive (the non-window version is quite a bit cheaper, especially when you take into account shipping costs).

It's reasonably quiet because it's got a (fairly) solid front and the stock fans it comes with are very quiet (though don't push huge amounts of air). Having used one before I'd also say it feels a lot more "premium" than it's price tag. The general look and feel of it is reasonably high end, despite it being a fairly budgety case.

-added a better power supply mostly going with a single rail psu would do much better and cleaner power. XFX made by SEASONIC. 100% japanese capacitors. excellent voltage regulation.

-this case is great good airflow silent. best cable management. fan controller with temps in led.

-added a gtx 770 for better performance to fit the previous budget build.

-Another 3 way sli motherboard that will do the work. no need for a hero with a gtx 760.

Looks good. I prefer this case as it is roomy and easy to work inside of. It also has good air flow and a good cooling solution out of the box: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-rc912kkn1

On the downside, it's not great for cooling, especially if you are potentially looking towards an overclocked or/and SLI setup. I'd have no qualms recommending it for lower end builds looking for something quiet and minimalist, but once you get to higher budget levels there might well be better options.

Obvious competition would come in the form of the Antec Three Hundred Two, Fractal Design Core 3000/Arc Midi, Coolermaster 912 (there is a version with USB3.0 too) or Corsair 300R//230T for solid airflow, and the Fractal Design Define R4 or Corsair 330R if you want something quiet.
