I'm going to be building my first gaming system and i'm looking for a little advice!

Case: http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0366600 Is this THAT much better then the 300r?
PSU: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?...SM12II620&c=CJ
MOBO: http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0387554
CPU: http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0388577
GPU: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008TO35EW/?tag=pcpapi-20
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=3938566&SID=

I have read that, that MOBO can be iffy if true and same priced options?

I do not need a HDD right now and I have Windows 7 ultimate x64.

Are there any options that might be better while staying around this price range?

I think I should get an after market CPU cooler. Anything low priced that can handle some overclocking?

Also what would you guys recommend for a monitor? I have http://www.staples.com/Acer-P236H-BD-23-Widescreen-LCD-Monitor/product_902243

I care about picture quality since i'm not big in to FPS.

Thanks in advance!
