I am doing a build that is not that gaming oriented, but for some light gaming. So far a have chosen the intel core i7 4790k and a evga gtx 960(whats the different about the ftw card?) and a samsung 850 evo 250gb. I need help choosing a good case(a window would be nice), a 1 tb hard drive, a motherboard, a power supply, and maybe a cpu cooler. Trying to keep this in a 1k us budget and let me know if there are some thing I should change.(This build isn't for me by the way). Thanks in advance.

For a cpu cooler pretty much any noctua is going to be great or a cooler master 212. I personally like corsair cases. Have some great options there.
