Well I would say go for the GTX550Ti. You could also look around for a GTX460 as it is faster than the 550 and does not cost that much more :wink:

CM 690.

And please keep all requests about your new PC in one thread rather than starting a new thread for every component.

CM 690 is a decent chassis. No real need to look further imo.

That Aerocool looks pretty nice and it is quite distinctive. The HAF is a fairly revered case and of very good quality etc, but a lot of people have those. Without knowing the kind of space the Aerocool comes with, I'd go with that.
