Looks ok.
Question - Why you get a cheap case and spend 30 euro on case fan. Will it be better to spend 67 euro on case?
 
I like this case. But to you have better suggestion so I would get nicer and better? I want for the start buttons and stuff to be on top at least. And both the fans cost together is 15€ not one.

I would suggest a case made by a better manufacturer. Bitfenix is infamous for making poor quality cases. Their fans are good though.

On a budget, a Corsair 200R, or NZXT S340, NZXT Source 210 (Elite), Cooler Master HAF 912 are all good case choices

I would agree with either purchasing the 'NZXT S340' or the 'NZXT Source 210 (Elite)'. These are both very good cases with a lot of room and will fit in nearly all spaces. The CPU is good, but I wouldn't suggest it for this build. The Mhz speed is not so fast for what you will need but because of your powerful RAM components, it should be okay. If you do want to change your CPU though, just go for an i3 model which can be overclocked or box at a faster speed which will probably be cheaper.

Sorry if I have confused you, I am just suggesting somethings but the build is fine the way it is, just the case is all that needs to be changed. Hope it goes well bud :good: :)

Umm, no i3s can be overclocked, from this current generation at least.

If you can afford the jump to an i5 4690K, that can be overclocked, and would be better.

3.4 Ghz is more than enough, I'm not sure what youre talking about. Please educate youself before telling other people wrong information

^ Ninja is right.. Speed isn't everything. My 4.2GHz CPU would get beat by a 2.6GHz i7 head to head.
