Also, don't pick a H510 for your case as it has poor airflow and you will choke your components with the lack of fresh air that can be pulled in this case.

Do you recommend another one?

The Phanteks Eclipse P400A is a decent airflow case for the price.

I would recommend this:

The H510 has bad airflow, the P400A is much better. This RAM is also faster, and I have listed a better CPU and GPU, however, if you can wait a bit then they should be back in stock at normal prices.
