I got the components for this unfinished build from a thread I posted two days ago: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2133543/low-budget-gaming-build-500.html .
I am just posting again to see if all of these parts in this combination are ideal for my gaming build.
What I really want to accomplish with this build:
-I would like my PC to be able to play Minecraft on the absolute highest with mods at about 80 (not completely necessary) FPS. I want to be able to at least play BF3/BF4 on ultra at about 35-45 FPS and if not possible suggest what you see fit.

Questions:
Which case do you suggest with the current components? -
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cougar-case-archon or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153
-The only reason I'm considering the Rosewill Challenger is the Tom's Hardware recommendation and that it comes with three fans.
Do you see any combos I am missing out on? :3
Do I need this amount of wattage for an Intel i3?
What keyboard would be ideal for gaming and cheap; I do not have an up-to-date keyboard with a usb connector? I only have a laptop.
Do I need CPU cooler or is the stock one that comes with the CPU sufficient?
EDIT: My budget is 500 united states dollars, feel free to suggest better combo deals or better component combinations.
