I am currently building a gaming PC, these are my specs:
AMD Phenom II x4 965 AM3
Gigabyte AM3 AMD880G SB710 4xDDR3 Raid Dolby mATX Motherboard
8GB (2x4GB) PC3-10600 1333MHz DDR3 Memory
Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA 6GB Hard Drive
Asus ATI Radeon HD6870 1GB GDDR5 (PCI-E) Graphics Card
600Watt PSU 120mm Red Fan
Samsung SH-5222L/BEBE 22x DVD-Rewritable
Because this is my first time building a gaming PC, I'm after recommendations and examples of PC cases (not too expensive) that would fit all of my compenents like the DVD Writer and Graphics car, this is the biggest difficulty I am facing, I can't find one which fully suits my specs. Thanks Escapists.

CM 690 II or Lian Li K58. Antec 300 or HAF 912 if you're on a budget.

Also drop down to 4GB of RAM and switch out the Seagate for a Spinpoint F3. And why are you going mATX.

My recommendation for a mATX case would be the Lian Li PC-A04B

It is a bit deeper then most mATX cases out there, but makes up for it with the ability to fit any size video card, and lots of expansion options for hard drives and any size of power supplies. It is a bit pricey, however, as Lian Li cases tend to be.

I'd recommend going for a bigger board and higher power PSU. Then I'd recommend going for something sweet like the Coolermaster HAF X Case.

If you're on a budget or don't fancy taking those recommendations then I'd still say anything Coolermaster makes is pretty reliable. My PC takes regular beatings and the case just takes it.

I'd also recommend getting a decent CPU cooler rather than just using the one that comes with the processor. Seriously, show the components love by keeping then cool and they'll show you lot's of love in return by not breaking or destabilising the system.
