Go for a 970 or even a 980 if you can.
Have you completely decided on amd, as I'd suggest intel :)
You should go for a NZXT H440. IT has a good design for airflow, although you may need to buy a couple fans as the ones that come with it are only stock ones.
It's a good solid case and looks great!

What's your budget on the case??

When it comes down to it do you put functionality & cooling before all out looks??
