Artic Silver 5 is a top rate thermal compound when compared to others which I have done here on many occasions. You don't have to apply a large amount to have it spread evenly in order to form a good layer between the cpu and sink. It's an easy task there. As far as cases you and I both will be looking for a better case for air flow with 120mm fans. The size of an atx case will still be about the same unless you are somehow running an AT type case there where things are too cramped. You can choose all kinds of cases for less then $50-US these days without a supply. In fact you wouldn't want a supply included unless it's something like an Antec or Enermax case since they usually put some cheap piece of whatever in there. You will still have to shop around at the vendors you order from to get a new one. But I can add a links here to give you some ideas.
