Hello guys, been lurking around for a couple of years and now the time has come to try my first build, decided to stick with components that are on the Buyer's Guide, but if someone could have a look and advice, it would be much appreciated.
Aim is to have a cheap gaming machine, that is also able to run OS X.
Parts will be purchased on alternate.nl but I linked to Newegg so all is in english.

On the hunt for a nice looking case, the one i posted before is out of stock.
I think it should all fit together nicely, my only doubts are about getting e bigger SSD and leaving out the wi-fi card, unless i decide to place the build in another room in future, that can be added on a 2nd date.
1)Any nice looking case that would work, looking for some aluminium metal case, white/silver.
2)Any advice on GPU and Motherboard? I stayed with what was on the buyer's list, but if you want to advice a better price/quality alternative that will work fine as well, please do so. What would be the benefits/cons of going for a Series 9 Motherboard?
Thanks
