What is your combined budget for the PSU and the case? Do you intend to SLI in the future? Is there any specific color you'd like your case to be?

It all depends on what you are wanting to do. If you are looking to build a computer for gaming or something where you will build it, put the side panels on it, and never open the case again; I would find a mid tower that fits everything (MOBO form factor, MOBO size, GPU length, ODD, HDD, and SSDs), room for cable management, and optimal cooling with dust filters. For the PSU I would go up 1 step from what you're required from components.

If you are wanting build that you'll update and add onto, I would go with a full tower. For the PSU I would get at least 750W (if you plan on adding on or overclocking).

you can see how much power you need with a website such as the one listed below.

Nothing in particular. Just want to build one that will last.
I dont think I'll be doing SLI.
Any color would do.
I think I'll going for corsair 760T for the case

That is a high quality case, it should be more than enough for you.

As for the power supply, I'd recommend a ~650W unit from XFX, Antec, Corsair (AX, TX, and HX only), or Seasonic. I would also recommend a modular unit if you want the insides of your PC to look clean.
This one would be a great example: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcg620m
