Thank you for reading it this long! I'm not a computer whiz, and I was wondering what case I should buy for this gaming pc build? I don't know if the case that is in that build will fit all the pieces.

Also are there any cheap upgrades that would help? Thanks.

Specs

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($284.75 @ Vuugo)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($31.05 @ Vuugo)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($89.99 @ Newegg Canada)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($65.99 @ Canada Computers)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($60.75 @ Vuugo)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card ($408.00 @ Newegg Canada)
Case: BitFenix Neos Black ATX Mid Tower Case ($54.15 @ DirectCanada)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12G 550W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply ($114.98 @ Newegg Canada)
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer ($19.75 @ Vuugo)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 OEM (64-bit) ($109.99 @ NCIX)
Total: $1239.40

Okay thanks because I have no clue what PC case size I should get / need. Also will I need a better power supply or cooling system?

Everything looks fine. The case isn't a great case, but it will fit everything in your build. If you've got another $10 I'd say you should get the NZXT S340, an excellent case for the price that should fit all your parts as well. But again, everything's fine, the psu and the cpu cooler are both great for your build.

Thanks for making me the best solution, but no, not the NZXT Source 210, here's the case I was talking about: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-cas340wb1

Looks like everything would work except the cooler. It's too tall for the case from what I can tell. The 212 evo is 159mm tall, the case only supports coolers up to 158mm according to some reviews and others say up to 160mm. I can't seem to find that info on the bitfenix website, they list heights for cpu coolers for other cases but not that one. If clearance is only 158 the 212 evo won't fit with the side cover on.

Another option would be the be quiet pure rock which is 155mm so should fit either way.

Otherwise it looks like everything should fit. I don't know how flexible your budget is. The z97 anniversary is a lower budget board that may not be the best for overclocking, but to get a bit better quality and better vrms you'd be looking at around $30-50 cad more. It should still handle mild overclocks. Looks like a good gaming build.

It says the case isn't compatible with my build. Got any other ideas?
