The antec 900 case is pretty good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...pk=Antec%2b900
The motherboard you chose is cheap but old, it's using a Intel 946GZ chipset. Go or an Asus P5K with the P35 Chipset and also this motherboard can support a fsb 1333 cpu and can use 800ddr2 memory. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131180

I've g2g now so I can't give anymore suggestions.

You're going to have to find a case yourself since you're the only person who knows what you like. What I like you might think is ugly. Just keep looking around.

If there is something you are gonna drop some more money into I would say up the CPU.

For a vid card I would go with EVGA.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130085

It's $10 cheaper and you get a free game.

For a HDD I would get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148136

Not sure why you need the 10,000RPM WD imo it's not worth it.

I'd also recommend this Monitor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...=Acer%2bAL2017

I've had it for a year now, it looks great and i've never had a problem.
