Lets put aside the idea that I want to show-off my rig. Is the Segotep still a bad-quality thing?

I can't say how thin the metal they use is, IDK.  I understand everyone has cosmetic preferences.

 

Like I mentioned:  Phanteks, NZXT, and Fractal Design have built awesome reputations by making high quality products at great price points.  Corsair and Coolermaster make great cases as well, but you pay a little more.

 

Have you seen this Segotep case in person?  If you have not, you are taking a risk when you don't have to.  You are right though, it is just a case to hold your parts.  As long as you can get decent airflow, it should be fine.

 

If you plan to move it around a lot, it might break if is really cheap.

I am completely cool with buying an NZXT , it's just that they are really expensive here in Bulgaria, Europe.

The Corsair Spec is a cheap case, like the Sepotec... but I would trust Corsair to be a little better built.

 

Try and see the cases in a store somewhere.

 

The Phanteks Enthoo Pro was a case I knew was good for $100... but when I saw it in person I could actually see why it was so highly recommended.  It is a really nice case.

Looks like your average case to me.

So I decided to go for the Raidmax Monster 2 case - http://www.raidmax.com/chassis_monster-ii2.html

 

@stconquest , all of the parts You suggested were set with overclocking in mind, but I think I should stick to a non-clocker build, because I simply can't make the time for the process. And as far as I can see, those RAM sticks above 2133 Mhz are "O.C." , meaning overclocked - so they are 2133 out of the box as the rest. Is there such a thing as ram above 2133 mhz right now?

 

And considering my statement above, can you optimize my part choice up to the current Tier that I am going for? Thanks!

I will be choosing from many different online stores since the prices here vary in proportion. 

You can leave out the mass storage drive in the initial build.  It is easy to just add in later:
