Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Re the case, I will go with y'alls opinion against the Cooler Master case. But the more I think about it the NZXT one is too big and placed horizontally would just look plain odd given how the rest of my stuff is set up...do y'all have any other recommendations for a smallish case that's still...
Wow, thank you for all of the recommendations.
As to the NZXT case, it would not fit vertically but would horizontally.
I will go with the power supply that you recommended.
Re the CPU and motherboard, I had figured that quad-core would be better, plus I could not figure out a way to go...
