Now, i have picked out two cases (because im still undecided about which one to buy and my second case looks a lot cooler than my first case) but the only problem is I don't know if they are big enough or if my parts will work with either of the cases. Can anyone help my decide?

Case 1: NZXT Technologies SOURCE 220 CA-SO220-01 Matt Steel Mesh Front Mid Tower Case with USB 3.0

Case 2: Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus - Mid Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and Windowed Side Panel

All of these parts are available on Amazon if anyone wants to read there specs. After shipping and handling, it'll all cost around $1000

I would spend a bit more on the motherboard

I would suggest getting the 650W version of the XFX at least

everything else looks good

The Corsair 200R is on sale for $40 after rebates which is a great deal

The Graphics Card you have chosen requires a 600W PSU so if you want that gpu you need to choose a different psu or change you gpu. The processor and motherboard are compatible. Other then that it would work fine, the only other part I would recommend getting is an SSD to store your Operating System onto as it will boot faster.
