The build is for gaming and I want something that will not need upgrading for a long time while running everything on ultra at 60fps or more.
I'm currently using a 1080p monitor but considering upgrading to a 1440p, not sure if I want to spend that extra yet.
I know the psu on there is overkill but the 750 and 850 are currently out of stock and it wouldn't let me post the build with those selected. I intend to order a 750 or 850 depending on what comes back into stock first.
The main problem I'm having is choosing a case. It seems to be the new normal thing for the front usb ports to be on top of the case instead of on the front and that's a problem as I need the case to fit into this desk while still having at least 2 usable usb ports, as you can see from this picture there is no space for top usb ports.

The approximate dimensions of that box are 49cm high, 32cm wide and 50cm deep, so I need a case that fits into there with space for the cables at the back and at least 2 accessible usb ports for peripherals.
So a few questions:
Are there any cases that PCS sell that would fit that build and fit into my desk while allowing enough space for ventilation and usb peripherals?
If not then would that build fit into a Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus Mid Tower gaming case which is the case I already have, there's still a few left on amazon so I could use the send in your own case option. This would take longer than using a PCS supplied case though with waiting for delivery so a PCS case would be preferred it possible.
Any advice on anything that I should change in that build? Maybe something that's too overkill or something I've overlooked?
