thanks for the advice, which of the two do you recommend?

Bitfenix outlaw, if you don't mind it doesn't have a usb 3.0 port in the front.

Do you want a fancy gaming case or something reasonably plain looking?
Side Window? LED's?

Or just no clue and want some good recommendations?

Anyway here is my 2 recommendations:

Fancy Gaming Case

Reasonably Plain Case

This one doesn't have USB3 though

To be honest I would also go for the Bitfenix out of everything suggested so far. Good to have some choice though.

I don't want to sound ungrateful but is there any particular reason for picking the Bitfenix?

Get HAF 912 from cooler master, yes its 50$ but it has GREAT airflow and it looks kinda unique. (Other cooler master models have similar look) Also if your not using pcpartpicker.com, Use it. I built a 2500$ build on newegg and on pc part picker i saved 700$
