Yeah, it's a fairly big tower but I wanted it that way. Easier to switch part inside the machine, plus I really wanted a red case.
Cable management with this case is excellent. My camera just ran out of batteries so can't take a pic but I assure it's very convenient. You have several tunnels that go into the back area of the case where all cables are nicely stacked together. In the main space of the case there's your usual couple of cables that "obstruct" somewhat, like the power cables to the motherboard, the PCE-express cables and such. Airflow and conveniency is excellent though.
I think an i5 is much faster for desktop tasks but in gaming, even in RTS games and other CPU heavy games like Skyrim, under high quality graphics settings it's only 10-15% faster, tops.
What do you currently have for PC?
