the case is subjective... really what your looking for is a quality motherboard which the d3hp is, a very good quality power supply from seasonic, xfx, or antec(there are a few others out there too), and reliable hard drives with long warranties.

personally i would only get evga, sapphire, msi, gigabyte, or asus video cards.
