What are you going to be doing to need a hexa core?? Gaming its pointless so unless your rendering cad, video editing or somthihing like that just get a 955 x4 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-244-AM&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1328 £111.61 this week).
Case (im assuming your after quiet ones)
Antec Sonata Elite Case £70

Fractal Design Define R3 Midi Tower Case - Black Pearl £90

It would also be worth getting an aftermarket cooler as the quiet designed cases tend to have less airflow and the dampening material can also retain heat.
Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme Rev.2 £28

Dont forget your thermal compound

on the contrary I'm a supporter of getting a hexcore if you will be keeping the CPU a while, that way as games are gtting more and more multithreaded you will benefit
