My only issue is the case as it is very low end. The case will require intakes, in which a filtered bottom or front would be recommended. you will need a fan, but if you give me a price I can name a few for you. I also believe there is a better option for the PSU but I will leave that for someone else to choose one for you.

TheMagicalWallaby :

I would prefer 65$ at most

I would recommend the Corsair 230t. http://www.ncixus.com/search/?categoryid=0&q=corsair+230t (you can pick another store if you'd like).

Thanks, that actually was a case I considered, but I wanted a window. Nothing a dremel can't fix though.

TheMagicalWallaby :

Also feel free to suggest a psu if you feel comfortable recommending one. It will only help me. Preferably one in the same ballpark price wise please. Maybe even lower wattage cause I feel like I could get away with 550W

corey14 :

I know a good 600w but it is not the same price as your current one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=COHgjP6cy78CFasRMwodhjAAqA&Item=N82E16817151096&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Power+Supplies-_-N82E16817151096&ef_id=U8SjNwAABQ39hT3T:20140717014638:s

I will check later to see if a 550w would work.

It does have a small window (I am not sure if you just saw the non windowed one or not).

I do know and even better case but it is $90 with a $20 mail in rebate. Not sure if you want that.

Change the EVGA 600B to something better. I believe its in the teir 4 of this list of psu: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

That case is very high quality. Personally I'd never spend over 50 on a case. Change that 280X to a GTX 760 and get yourself an ssd. GTX 760 performs the same if not marginally lower than the 280x, and NVIDIA cards run cooler.

Ultimately it's your choice. Good luck.

No, a 280x is a far better choice than a 760 and performs noticeably better. Also, spending over $50 on a case really does add to the quality.
