Need help speccing a gaming PC

I wrote my post before seeing the suggestion from Doomedspeed, LED RAM!!!!! Must buy! I really like the look of that RAM, how does this build look? Any suggestions?

Also, that RAM brings my total cost to under £500 including P&P

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - Retail £199.99
1 x Gigabyte Z77X-D3H Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £112.99
1 x Bitfenix Survivor Midi Tower Case - White £79.99
1 x Phanteks PH-TC12DX CPU Cooler - Blue (Socket 775 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2) £44.98
1 x Avexir Core Blue Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U16000904G-2CW) - Blue Light £37.99
Total : £490.94 (includes shipping : £12.50).

 
Also, can anyone suggest any sleek, stylish, Bitfenix case that is under £100, I don't mind spending extra for a case I would use for several builds, I really like Bitfenix cases, and I was wondering if there was a better looking one than the one I have chosen, Pref white but open to all colours, and any with blue LED fans all inside?

I would go with a Gigabyte board, you get UK RMA, ASRocks are known for burning out.

Change the retail chip to the OEM to save yourself £12, especially because your getting an after market heatsink anyway.
