Looks nice, pretty good!

 

As for the case, its a matter of personal preference. You can try to go for a black and white build, or just a black build 

 

the Phanteks case looks like you won't get much airflow though, 

 

you can get this NZXT case tough for cheaper and better airflow https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-H510-Management-Water-Cooling-Construction/dp/B07TC76671/ref=sr_1_2?crid=F7NR4NYTH4KG&keywords=mid+tower+computer+case&qid=1583899163&s=electronics&sprefix=MID+towerc%2Celectronics%2C211&sr=1-2

 

Sorry for long url lol

This is what I was going to say, it is a matter of preferences but it is good to have one that allows you to have enough airflow... And I cut the link for you ?? :

The P400a however is the best choice! A lot better than the P400 or the H510.

Thanks! I was comparing the two cases for a while, and I chose the P400A instead of the H510.

 

As for the power supply, I changed it to a SeaSonic FOCUS Plus 550w instead of the Corsair PSU.

 

FYI: This is going to be a gaming and productivity build

 

As for other options, I'm looking at the CoolerMaster MasterBox Pro 5 or the K500 RGB.
