Is this a good PC build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/iloveminutemai/saved/6VQhP6 also need help to find a good case.

 

Hi, and welcome to the forums :D

 

1) Get a dual channel kit of memory. A 2x4GB kit would be the more preferable.

2) If you don't plan on SLI'ing, drop the PSU to a 500W-600W one.

3) Get a CPU cooler. 

4) As for the case, it's really up to the user. Aesthetics is something for the user to decide.

 

EDIT: If possible, get your OS through G2A. You could save a metric butt-tonne of money buying a product key instead of the full software. In doing so, you could allocate more of your budget into your case or such.

I'm planing on SLI'ing in the future, and I didn't mean to get a 1x8GB kit I meant to get a 2x8GB kit. What CPU cooler should I get? Thanks for the advise.

If you plan on SLI'ing, get a 800W+ PSU. As for the cooler, NH-D15 or the Dark rock Pro 3 would be my recommendations. However, depending on your tastes an AIO would be better.
