PC Build Advice on Case/Power Supply/GPU

I was going to wait till March/April to build a new PC, but figured I'd just get it done now due to, well, you know. I tend to make them last a while anyway (PC I'm using now was put together in 2016). I have some savings so I can take the memory price increase hit. I just wanted some advice/suggestions.

I've put together 2 PC's (2010 and 2016) but I didn't actually choose the parts for those 2 builds. The first one I just copied my friends build and the second one was a build I found online and just used that part list. This is my first time actually choosing components for myself.

I'm pretty much decided on certain things, but my main issue is the case. The one in the list is a placeholder (it has a 5.25" bay for a DVD drive). My car has a 6 CD changer in it so sometimes I burn new CD's to change them out. I don't really want an external but it wouldn't be that big of a deal either way.

I also probably don't need a 1000W power supply either.

The Sapphire card seemed to have good reviews, but my last several cards have all been XFX, never had a Sapphire card before. I've had terrible luck with NVIDIA cards in the past so I personally avoid them now, which is why I chose an AMD card.

The case, graphics card, and power supply were the main questions I had, any suggestions on those would be welcome.

I am about to head to work so probably won't even see any replies till the morning. I also need to look for a New Keyboard/Mouse and Router, but those are for me to look into this weekend.
