Solved by Real_PhillBert,
Also he'll no to windows 8.1 he already has an 8.1 laptop and he hates it. I don't want to insert an SSD yet. He doesn't play games that need that, he is really making 5his build to have it look nice. He mostly plays GM. Also Asus Cards are just not my thing or his. He liked the MSI and I have one myself so I am confident with that. I just was making sure that case was OK but I guess I need a different case... darn
I think I changed everything to suit your preferences.

I used the Define R4 because I think it looks great, another excellent option to look at is the NZXT H440. The NZXT also has a great reputation around here.
I do wonder why you do not wish to integrate an SSD? They will increase performance a fair bit and fit into your budget.
