First of will these components all fit in a midi tower case?

and second, please can someone recommend a reliable well ventilated case preferably a midi tower.
I've heard the Corsair carbide 300R is rated quite highly for the price is it a good option to go for?

Even a case such as the NZXT source 210 will be able to handle it but you will have to remove some drive bays which is pretty easy. Also, I wanted to make a comment on your PC build. I think this will hold up much better for cheaper as if you are only gaming, you will not need those super expensive components. I also believe you need an OS so I added that.
