Help finding the right case and graphics card?

[sktbrdr360]

hello, im a first time pc builder though im pretty well versed in computer buildings. I have al the parts i need except a graphics card and the right case. i want a good graphics card because i dont want to bottleneck my cpu. i kind of want to have a black and red case but not necessarily. i dont want a black and blue case. a black case is good too. i also kind of wanted one a window. i also want a pretty quiet case and the case needs to be able to fita corsair h100i. i was thinking about a nzxt phantom 820 or a corsair 800d but they are pretty expensive. Thank You. this is my build: ( sorry for the bad layout)

Its not possible to bottleneck that cpu unless you have tri-sli high end graphics cards, so you dont have to worry about that. I just got the coolermaster storm trooper and to be honest, I highly recommend this case.

How much are you looking to spend total? On the gpu? Case? That will help me a little more.

Whoah, why the big bucks here? What is it this board provides over a $200 board? P8Z77-V Pro for example. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131819

Just curious.

Alright, I can understand that. My wife thinks I am crazy for how much I spend on computers. Your level of craziness is a little higher there, but same geek level.

I am inlove with this case http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-casw810w1
there are multiple colours, including black. I've just built my friend his new system with this case. There's so much room and just looks amazing, NUFF SAID!

I always find it so hard to tell if a case looks good in pictures. I remember one of my first systems I picked an antec sonata because I wanted a quiet case, and I was just in awe of how beautiful that case was.

Get a CM Haf, after I looked for days for a case to use on my build I went with the 912, I love it! But the other Cooler master haf cases are great too.
