As you can see I need everything, mouse, monitors... the works. I'm quite happy with this build so far, however I cannot choose a case that would be suitable, I would appreciate any recommendations.

Also if I could get this build down to £1000 by swapping certain parts that would be great, the only two things I'm set on is dual monitor and 16GB RAM.

I noticed on the graphics card it has display ports (New to me) I guess I just get an adapter to HDMI to run both the monitors?

Any help appreciated, be as brutal as you want - it's been a long time since I built a PC (Never a gaming one)
