I would get an Enthoo Pro for this price. Or the Phantom 530 if you must have an alien case.

 

Get an EVGA PSU as well, if you can, or at least up the wattage a little.

 

ASRock isn't the greatest for mobos, get a Gigabyte -insert model number that i forgot-

1:Caviar Black have better performance-speed

2:one stick of ram is better than two 

3:if you are going to overclock your system consider a more powerful psu (700 Watts or something)

1. A black doesn't give a big performance increase over the blue, its not really worth the extra noise.

2.it doesn't affect performance, using 1 stick only means he can go up to 32 gb in the future, which he won't need anyway.

3.600w is fine even if he achieves some massive overclocks. 500w is even fine.

Which case would you recommend ?

Define R4 are pretty good and cheap. They can host all the hardware you really need. 

H440 are a little more expensive but are pretty solid as well.

Gaming Rig: i5-3570k+H100i (4.3 ghz) | P8Z77-i Deluxe | MSI Twin Frozr 7950 Boost | HX650 | 1TB HGST | 840 Evo 250 GB
