I am thinking of buying this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pFTsVn
Some people have told me that the case I am buying is not the best with the 780 Ti SC/ ACX and that it will not fit. They recommended me the NZXT Phantom PHAN-001BK. The problem is that the case is a little bit to high to fit under my desk and I am looking for a case lower than 20" inches that can support my build. Any suggestions?

Is that going to increase the performance by much? I was thinking of getting 16 GB RAM and the case that you included is a little dull, anything that has some blue to it? because my keyboard is blue.

As far as I can tell the antec should fit a 780ti. ON the geforce forums I saw a build posted that had two 780tis in an antec 900http://
As far as the blue you could just add blue led fans to any case.

It certainly should, if you are worried, just put a few more case fans in

Just one more question, I was looking at this EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR PSU and read on the review that it is quite big and covers his bottom fan ventilation, would the above case have a similar problem?

Chances are this is the case but this means that you can have the power supply getting air from a separate source to the other components, which will keep it cooler and make sure that it lasts longer as well

dont worry you want your psu to have cool air so it keeps cool. get some good noctuas(silent and move lots of air), cougars(still silent and move a little more air.) look for fans with high CFM so it moves lots of air. mount the biggest fans on the top(140mm on the top i think) with a high cfm and lower cfm fans in the front this will allow the hot air that goes to the top to be shot out. just buy extra dust filters to keep clean.
