I have put together a budget gaming system. I would appreciate a few pointers and a case recommendation that will work with the system.

I don't have any intention of overclocking anything
I went with the GTX 550 as my budget card as opposed to potentially better performing ATI cards because I have never had anything but non stop problems when dealing with ATI cards over the years.
What's the scoop on sniper vs ripjaw?
should I go p67 mobo or z68?
Is everything I have set up fully compatible?
Will I need a heatsink or will the stock be sufficient?
I did not include a hard drive because they are so bloody expensive right now. Unless someone can recommend a reasonably priced hard drive I will probably just format what I have and use it.
And lastly, what case will work with my setup? I don't have the first clue when looking at cases.
Thanks a bunch!
