The case is mostly your pref, cooling should be fine as long as you have enough fans

Do you want a case with a PSU? If so, what wattage?

Any clear panels? Lights? Fancy faces on the front? Front panel connectors? # of 5.25" bays? #of external 3.5" bays? #of internal 3.5"bays?

Your gfx looks pretty good, it will run most, if not all games.

My tip is that you buy a NZXT Nemesis.
I have one and my CPU is always on 30 degress.

The warmest it have ever been is 38.

And the graphic card, what game are you playing?

Yes and so will the 9200.

The case means nothing. Your CPU runs cool cuz of the architecture and the cooler.

Nothing short of a 9800Pro

As for the case .... isnt that like the easiest thing to decide and the hardest to get help for? (considering its your opinion anyways)
