They are the main components of the system I want, feel free to let me know if they will all compliment one another or if there will be any compatability issues. I've looked at the Lian-Li v1000 case and the Silverstone TJ07 case aswell as the TJ04 case. I'm just looking for a solid, clean simple case, that will not cause any issues with heat etc. Any help much appreciated. Also any additions in terms of cooling let me know.
 
Looks like a very solid system there. You might also want to consider an AMD based system, but it reallly doesn't make a difference, both will give you good performance besides AMD's dual core solutions are far more expensive (they are better though) Anyways I've been recommending this case to a number of people so I'm gonna recommend it to you as well. Here it is Link
This case has been discontinued for 3 years now, but it remains to be one of the most beautiful ATCS cases out there, I own one (in fact I own many ATCS cases lol, see sig) and I was absolutely blown away by this cases's and the other cases quality. The cooling in the ATC 710 is very good, it's definitely not the best but is very sufficient and will keep any system cool enough and stable. Also, the ATC-710 retailed for 150 dollars so for 76 it's a steal, go for it!
 
For a Simple, clean look, I'd reccomend either the Coolermaster Praetorian(the original one, that looks like the old ATCS cases) or the Centurion 5. The Praetorian is lighter and a little better quality, but the Centurion has better airflow and is tool-less.
 
You already mentioned the case I was thinking of . I would consider the Zalman CNPS9500 LED I think its the best heat pipe CPU cooler on the market Very good
 
Appreciate all your suggestions, I'm looking into them as I type, also does the Lian Li v1000 have any issues with heat? I heard it needs a blowhole for the video card, and I am completely incapable of doing any diy stuff, I just need a case that needs no modifying whatsoever. Also there is a koolance lian li case, seen here

Would this be any good or is it not worth it?
