Core i5 build for under 600. Suggestions?

[Ph1l0z0ph3r]

I want to build this for under $600. Just want some suggestions on the parts and stuff. Do not have a video card selected as I plan on dropping my old 9800 GT into it for now till I decide what I want. Case is not final and as I'm still looking for a good case that also is easy on the eyes. Kind of want the White case on the cover of Maximum January 2012 issue but haven't found it yet. Mostly looking for a fast computer with some decent gaming output.

SSD's are not a good value at this time and offer little more than faster boot times. An SSD shouldn't be a consideration in a $600 budget.
I would suggest a better quality PSU. SeaSonic-XFX-Corsair (not the CX or GS Series) are top quality.
Memory Standard for the ASUS P8H67-M LX is DDR3 1333/1066.

Hmm would these be better options. Also I already have an older 500GB HDD from my old PC. Would it be fine to reformat that one? Or just buy new?

Excellent PSU and good quality RAM.
You can use your old Hdd if it is SATA.

Would I still be good to go if I got this motherboard and case instead.

The second Mobo is MATX. If that's what you want then yes it's fine.
Personally, I don't care for wither of the cases but I'm not the one who has work in or live it. I do not like doors or windows on cases primarily because the doors are easily broken and the windows look like crap in a short time.

Would I need the newer fan if I don't have plans of overclocking?

[Shaynk]

You won't be overclocking with that processor. There is still benefits to a aftermarket CPU cooler but it's by no means a necessity.

AS above ^
OC'ing a 3GHZ CPU will not gain anything except heat, stress and voided warranties.
OEM CPU heatsink/fans are fine for normal use.
