Rosewill is not a good hardware manufacturer. You should avoid their parts like botulism-covered plague rats.
I know it's tempting to go with Newegg combos, but aside from the rare exception they're usually not very good deals (as in, one or more components will be crap). Power supplies, for example, are very manufacturer-dependant: I generally recommend sticking with Corsair or SeaSonic because they provide rock-solid PSUs with 5-year warranties. As I said before, the PSU is the most important component in your system, and you absolutely do not want to skimp on it.
As for the case, most sub-$60 cases will have middling-to-poor airflow and be difficult to build in, loud, and filled with sharp edges. I often recommend the Centurion 5 at the $50 price point because it avoids most of these failings. The Antec Nine Hundred that I recommended to you before is $100, but for that price you get a solidly built case with a ton of air circulation that won't fall apart on you if you breathe on it like most cheaper windowed cases. It's also been documented to hell and back, so even if you get stuck building, help is just a quick Google search away.
In other words, you'd be well advised to stick with what I and others have recommended. If there were some excellent hidden deal stashed somewhere in the depths of Newegg's dusty interior, chances are that one of us resident hardware aficionados would know about it and have recommended it to you already.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
