My recommendation would be to stick with a 2500k, and for the case, go with the HAF 912 (~$50), solid case with cable mgmt.

Stick to Newegg for your ODD, as you can get a good for like $15.

Drop the SSD, stay with the WD HDD and take the saved money and invest into your GPU limit, perhaps take a bit out and invest in an aftermarket CPU heat-sink.
