wanna try it jay?  I think a tower needs to look good.  Typically good looking towers arent made of shite materials either.

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you asked us for help, I've obviously grasped the wrong end of the stick since you have tonnes of ideas yourself, what's that you say? you are needing help? you have fuck-all ideas? I just spent an hour browsing UK and us sites to find you what you needed but obviously you don't need it, good luck with that

If you wanted to chop some of the price off my build you could replace the i5 and mobo with one of these i3 and mobo combos http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCo … amp;page=1

For me the components are the most important bits, a case is just to keep them safe

True to a point.  But you can get a nice looking case for little cash.

Also some people like my self don't have a place to hide their PC.  On of the first things you see when you walk in my house is my PC so I can't deal with an ugly ass case (neither can the wife)

and if your gonna spend a hell of a lot of money on a case like a Silverstone TJ, it better be built well with quality components, work and cool well, and look damn good too.
