I am personally not a fan of the CM PSU's but that's just me. If I were you, I'd look at either the budget Corsair units otherwise a Silverstone Strider Plus. You don't need 750w either, 600 will be more than adequate. If you want to save a bit of money; drop the motherboard down to a H77 chipset such as the Asus P8H77 models. The reason why is because the Z77's are high performance boards with overclocking and high performance in mind.

Also, what are you doing for a storage disk/HDD?

$15 more gets you a fully modular PSU: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_995&products_id=15349

As for a case, go to PCCG's website and just browse through cases you like the look of and that are in your budget. You'll probably have some luck with the Corsair Carbides or some of the Bitfenix stuff.
