Assuming you dont touch your case, or any other object aside from the mobo/ram/hdd... when building..
I was surprised to see your not going to just use the stock cooler as your not going to OC it, but then again, after markets are quieter.
Laughed at the whole diss'ing your choice of case... to be frank the choice of case is up to you, its the style of what you want to go for; I got its big brother the 942... like it very much, but its filters do collect alot, I suggest turning all the fans inwards, as trying to create possitive airflow can be tricky with all that ventilation.
Aside from that :P; do hope to see a build log soon from you

Cheers.
