Hey all. I'm a first time computer builder. I'm looking for help on picking some parts to my computer.
The chosen parts are:
I7 4790k
GTX 970
Sentey 850W PSU
16 GB Corsair RAM
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
2 TB WD HDD
unimportant stuff like wifi card

I need help choosing a conservatively priced case that looks nice (maybe even with LEDs) and can spaciously fit all of these parts. The case also needs to have room for at least 3 HDDs and a CD Drive.
I also need help choosing a motherboard. I was looking at the Black Edition GIGABYTE Z97, but I need to know if there are any other better and cheaper options.

As one last side note, what do I need to buy to put a laptop HDD into my new build. Some sort of enclosure?

Hey there! Looks like the forum died down a bit, so let's get you helped out! In future posts, posting your budge helps a lot though.
As far as cases go, I really have enjoyed my NZXT Phantom. I ran into a issue when I was upgrading my current rig that my 970s wouldn't fit into my mid tower case, so I have to go to a full ATX.

Next up MOBO!
I have had great luck with Gigabyte boards, so I stick by them. They do a good job of overclocking if you enjoy that as well. I think the A97X is a very reliable and decent mid grade board though.
