So I decided to buy a new gaming pc for games like BF4, Rust, Dayz (in the future GTA V and other games). Here's what I came up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FwMP7P

Feel free to tell me if there is anything wrong with the build.

The only things I'm missing is the case and the psu. I don't really know what I should pick, so I'm asking for recommendations. Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't recommend the Zalman cases.. I got one (Z9) and, it's not the... best. It doesn't have that much graphics card space, and, personally, I hate the look..

If you're on a budget, I'd say 200r. If you want a full tower case, I'd say the Phanteks Enthoo Pro.

As for the psu, any good quality 600w+ PSU from tier 1-2A, on this list, will do fine.. However, you might be interested in the gtx 970 since it uses significantly less power, and still is a great card.

The Zalman Z11 case isn't even compatible with the 290x. There are much better cases you can find for the price, too..
