That case goes for 230 on newegg, an antec 1200 with a TP-750 blue will run you slightly more but comes with the power supply and a free 1TB HDD after combo right now

Get a single kit of ram, toms has done many tests and unless you plan to be doing a lot of work using photoshop or premier then you wont get a performance boost out of more than 4 GB of ram.
If you dont need another hard drive there is an $80 off combo with the i5 750 and the antec 1200

it brings the i5 easily into the price range which is definitely something to consider. -
