That is a really nice CPU, you won't be disappointed.
You MIGHT be able to squeeze an i5 build out of your budget if you get good sales and space out the purchases, maybe buy a couple parts used.
I've put together a couple builds with the case you originally had and haven't had any problems with them. I still don't think it's a good idea especially with the more expensive pieces you'll have in there. Find a cheap case and get the 550W BFG PSU that seems to go on sale all the time.
