Are you sure that you want the Johnsbo V3+? This case has at most 200mm of GPU clearance and you need GPUs that are longer than that for better performance in gaming. Try a CM Elite 120.

cm elite is one ugly looking case IMHO if u care about aesthetics.

u can consider fractal design or silverstone casings. do also consider using a SFX PSU w/ short cable kit eg. ST45SF-G w/ PP05-E to improve airflow.
