I'm thinking about building a PC and buying the parts during black friday, how does this case look?  I want to have really good airflow by the way.

It has good airflow but dust is a major issue

I love the look, but there are a couple things keeping me from a case like that

  • lack of dust filter/dust prevention
  • no sound dampening (not too big of a problem)
  • lack of component protection (from dropping crap on it (I'm sure I would)).
  • cost

Looks like the case is covered well. 

Before deciding on parts, you may want to look at what is actually on sale on Black Friday.

Don't get the 1700X, the 1700 costs less, and performs the same once overclocked.

The 212 Evo isn't very good. The Cryorig H7 should cost about the same. 

That's a way overpriced motherboard. The VRMs are equivalent to those on decent B350 boards. The Asus Prime Pro is way better, and is currently available for $110, which is a really good price.

The Trident Z 3000 MHz in red and grey costs less for 16GB.

The CX450 only has a single PCIe connector, which might not be enough if you upgrade
