Need a case & PS. Also, comments on my build.

Hello, I'm designing a pc for my son for Christmas. He does a lot of gaming primarily and I want to be able to get him a box that will at least let him play any game. I'm going to list all the parts I've ordered on newegg this weekend and would appreciate any comments. Also, I need a case and power supply for all this. I'm thinking I need usb 3.0 on front as well. I have about 50$ left on my budget and it looks like I'll go over because I still need : Case, Power, Optical drive (blu-ray writer)?, network card. Is there anything else I'm missing? Thanks for the help.

Does everything look like it goes together??

I can go as far over as I am willing to get yelled at by my wife. Probably no more than $100. I just picked up an ASUS 24X Sata DVD burner for 19.99 on newegg as well. Was really wanting blu-ray but I don't know if that is where we need to be sinking in the $$$ right now. My video card looks to have a six pin connector so I'm guessing I have to look for a power supply with that as well. Thanks about the network, I didn't know that. Right now I'm using a homeplug to go into his box so really don't need wifi.

That case doesn't have usb 3.0 up front. I'm really not even sure what 3.0 is used for but I don't want to be behind before I even finish the build.

PHANTOM 410.

Best looking case out there by far (Other than the Phantom 820!)

3.0 is faster transfer speeds from usb drives and things of that nature, it has the 3.0 ports on top along with 2.0 and audio jacks
