If you want a HTPC style case and are putting in a radiator, I'd go with the Core 500. I had it before and it was a very good case.
I'd personally skip the AIO though. Get a topflow cooler like the Phanteks PH-TC12LS and undervolt the CPU (assuming you have a Z-series motherboard). This combo worked for me and I don't think my 6700K ever hit 70 degrees outside of stability tests.
You can also use a tower cooler if you like, but then you lose out on the top two fan mounts.
If you go this route, an optional recommendation would be to get a SFX power supply. The case is still small, and SFX power supplies come with shorter cables and the unit itself is also smaller giving you extra space. Make sure it comes with a SFX-ATX bracket. Corsair units don't come with one, but Silverstone ones do.

Looking to build a really basic entry level computer for my cousins kid. Most likely going to be playing Minecraft so I think onboard video card is ok for the games he wants to play. And also he just wants to get him used to a computer (mostly just iPad right now). Trying to get it ~$450-$500
This is what I picked up....will add a ssd to the system below. it doesnt include a dvd drive ..but... i dont recall last time i ever used one.

Why did you not go with the 8GB version for the RX580? There is not a big difference in price. I have even seen some 4 GB models that cost more than the 8GB model.
Also you can make over $40 month after power costs mining with that card.

^ Sounds like it's a prebuilt unit. I would be wary about the PSU
yah its a prebuilt unit... for $789.99 it was a steal for the configuration.
ordered it friday evening from amazon.ca, had it delivered FREE sunday afternoon.. finished setting it up and will run it through some basic gaming tests like WOW at full settings.
I was desperate to replace this aging and dying Toshiba Qosmio i7 (check out my ghetto cooling solution cuz this laptop gets hot hot hot)

Newegg had an RX580 4GB for $270 last week. Haven't seen any 8GB versions even close to that.

$270 is a great price. The cheapest I have seen the 8 GB model is $339. Later the price went to $349 but came with Quake champions game. You could sell the game and get some money back.
