Switch the PSU to Corsair AX1200 ( Corsair CMPSU-1200AX ) at that wattage it's about the best you can get. Price difference is minimal.

Case: Silverstone Fortress FT02 - it's about 250€ if you can find it somewhere, doesn't seem to be in stock at that place.
It's similar in structure to the Silverstone raven 02 except that imho it looks better.
Link to the product page.
Can get it from amazon.de for example ~220€.

CPU cooler: Noctual NH-D14 75€

And considering the juice on that machine, i hope you intend to get a new monitor or 3 as well :)

Ah and if you intend to get like a 30" monitor or go with 3 full HD monitors. Consider getting 3GB versions of the GTX580
EVGA GTX580 3GB 519€ the bigger memory will help with AA in high resolutions.
