I have a build of

cpu: i5 6600k
cpu cooler: cryorig h7
motherboard: gigabyte lga1151 z170
gpu: zotac GeForce gtx 1060 mini
ram: corsair vengeance lpx 16gb (2x8gb) ddr4 dram 3000mhz
ssd: Samsung 850 evo 500gb
power supply: evga 500 w1 80+ white 500w

I'm wondering what mid-price case would go best with the build and if the power supply is good enough for overclocking.

Also, if I can save some money on ram and ssd, what brand would you suggest?

Thanks for the help.

No problem. And yes, the SuperNOVA G2 550W power supply will be more stable - especially when overclocking.
