Your system is pretty damn power efficient so I wouldn't sweat going overkill on the cooling. A Source 210 with an extra 120mm fan or two (it comes with neither front intake nor top exhaust fans) will be more than enough. You might also consider the Rosewill Challenger as long as your video card will fit in it. Not too bad a deal for $45 and coming with three case fans.

Spike and Source 210 are both great cases. The Spike looks a bit nicer, but has no top fan mounts, and is only mATX.
