Your spending money on the wrong stuff.
a full tower case for $140,but then only a $60 processor and $70 motherboard.
you literally spent more on the box that you put stuff in than you spent on what you plan to put in the box.
then you got a $100 graphics card.at this point you being,no offense,stupid.it's like the spongebob episode where he bought a huge plasma screen TV just for the box.
a gaming pc is nothing without a good processor and graphics card.instead you got a good case.....
I recommend this,first off check if you have a microcenter near you
http://www.microcenter.com/site/stores/default.asp...
they have amazing pricing and combo deals for processor and motherboard.
I'd recommend buying a 8320 if you want AMD or a an i5 3570k from intel.
nothing less than a gtx 660,560 ti,7850,7870.
but yeah don't cheap out on the parts,and then splurge on the box,just think about it.
buy a case for $40 at most unless you plan on spending more on the pc in general.
$140 cases are for $1000 or higher pc's,not for a dual core AMD processor from 2009 with a low-mid range graphics card.

Might want to go with a amd phenomllx4 965 or 970 , athlon processors are a little slow for gaming besides that all parts are compatible and a quad core processor is better for gaming , with those specs can get up to high settings on some gaming

So far as i will inform these all seem exceptional, but dont take it as gosble. I might nevertheless suggest in opposition to a water cooler as that is your first build, unless anybody shall be serving to you in the setup as I'v heard of folks who have had very unhealthy experiences with water cooling methods.

Beside's recommending an intel i5/i7 (better for gaming), I would upgrade to a 660. Trust me, it'll make a noticable difference.
