Honestly, you'd probably want to pick your own case. It's more about looks (though airflow matters too).
Probably won't allow too much AA with the graphics cranked to max. MFAA is your friend here.
If you want modular power supply (or other special hardware for that matter), just ask.

graphics card is a little tricky as to me the gtx980 is well overpriced compared to the gtx970 for not a great performance gain

I like Alpha's build a lot.
I'm just posting this build because I find it is obnoxiously overkill, unbalanced, overbudget, and pretty funny. But it does have a 144Hz 1440p monitor that I'm sure you can almost max out. And I know it's not an i7.
