Don't get that Thermaltake case. If you want a cheaper case, go with the 200r from Corsair or the NZXT Tempest/Source 210.

Corsair 230T is pretty good if you like the looks. Also the Fractal Core series is pretty ok.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

That seems fine. As @Chriz6097 mentioned, the 230T is also a great choice if you can find it for cheap enough.

seems the same price with the 300r so i may get the 230t instead. I went to corsair's site and saw the Corsair carbide series spec-03 cases are they any good or?

If you like the look of them and they are cheaper than the cases I mentioned, then go for it. I personally don't like the look of them, but I know that they will be built well and have good features.

 I'd personally go for the 200R, the SPEC-03 looks silly IMO
