I had some queries:

-I was wondering if I should spend less on my case and get one of the other two popular choices: the Elite 310 or the NZXT Gamma. I would save quite a bit if I went with the Elite 310 instead. I was only concerned about the heating/airflow issue.

-Would the PSU I've selected be sufficient if I added a good mid-range GPU later on?

Thanks.
 
In my opinion Elite 310 will suffice,add an intake fan on the side and the front and you've got a cabinet with good airflow. I got the Elite 430 myself,it's aesthetically more pleasing and has more fan options. But you really don't need all that as I'm beginning to realize that myself. Neither have wire management features.

Just get a couple of Scythe 120mm fans, I don't remember the exact model,but one of them had a very nice CFM. Cost was around 450-500. This way you'll get three fans for around 2600/-,with the Elite 430 you get only 1 fan for 2700/-.

Cheers.
