That's actually a very solid build. Two things I'll change though:
1) [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127844&cm_re=gtx_960-_-14-127-844-_-Product]Get this GTX 960 instead of the R9 270X.[/url]Performs 40~50% better than the R9 270X and only costs $30 more.
2) I had the Corsair 200R in the past, and its relatively thin side panels made it easy to bend despite it being metal. It's also outdated as there is the newer, better looking Corsair 100R.
For a $50~60 case, either get the Corsair 100R Silent Edition for quieter performing case, or the NZXT S340 for a very sturdy case. Those two are among the best cases in that price range.
