I reccomend the case I have, listed in my specs. I think it was about the same cost and it is pretty much the best case I've ever used (that didn't cost over $100). As for everything else, unless you are actually considering overclocking, the best place to save is that CPU. The performance difference between the 2400/2500/2500k is only really noticable when you factor in Overclocking, at which point the 2500k is a fantastic value.
Not sure if you have any but getting some Arctic Silver 5 would be a worthy investment (and some isopropyl alcohol from your local walmart to remove the stock stuff) since it can give you a nice 10c drop in temp's using the stock Heatsink (which is much better than previous generations of Intel HSF's). Using my case + AS5\Stock HSF even under full load my CPU never tops the mid 40's for temperature. The highest I have seen it was like at 50 when I ran a torture test for quite some time.
