HusarDerLuft,
Here is the case that I use for gaming.
http://hardwarelogic.com/articles.php?id=5245
Remember, with gaming systems, Power and Cooling are the two biggest problems.
The cases you've listed are nice, but are limited for cooling options.
The Cool Master CM-690 that I use has 8x120mm fans, 1x130mm fan and 1x80mm fan.
2x120 on Left Side
2x120 on top
2x120 on bottom
1x120 on rear
1x120 on front
1x80 on right side
With the AMD Cool and Quiet it sounds like a low breeze and runs a constant 46 deg Celsius with out water cooling.
The case should run you about $69 - $79 USD and is far superior to the ones you've listed in cooling and construction.
Another factor to consider is H/D mounting. Because the CM-690 mounts the H/D straight in vs. more traditional, you have plenty of room for SLI.
I'll do some checking on the Main Board for you, but from what I remember the M4A87TD EVO would be an excellent choice for you. It's a gaming board that allows you to run either SLI or Cross-Fire. (Hybrid Board). The others do not.
S!
