Hello,
I am now in the process of selecting parts for my first custom build machine, I dont have much knowledge in computers, and the reading I did the last few days is probably the extent of my expertise, I did some research and got some very useful help from this community, and now I think I settled on those part:

Which of the two cases would you reccomend?
Would love to get your thoughts and comments, my main use will be gaming and also running design programs (AutoCAD, Photoshop, 3D Max) with occasional movie watching
*I plan to put inside one of my old DVD drives, will this be a problem? (it came with my old dell 7 years ago) just to have 2 drives, incase I need to burn CD to CD
*I will need to transfer all my info from my old hard drives to the new one, will this be a problem?
Thanks in advance
