What about this case? I like the look of it and seems alright for the components as well as cooling?

 

Sure its a nice case, nothing wrong with it :) pretty much any case will work really

 

You can always pick similar components with a different colour scheme, I just went for black and blue

Also if you are I suggest changing the ram for some red ones :P

Well, I can't get the blue one on the website that I'm ordering from, which gives me a discount. Can you suggest another motherboard from www.aria.co.uk ?

The RAM's fine, I can get that from aria. It's just the blue motherboard that you recommended earlier, http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z97mg43

Oh right I see 1 sec

 

This could be a good option, SLI board too, honestly pretty much any z97 board will be fine!!! Gigabyte, MSI Asus Asrock etc

I would go for a different psu than the Corsair CX. This xfx is a better choice.

or if you don't mind a non modular one this Superflower Golden Green
