I would go with #1, however I would not go with the 650D. Even thought it's an amazing case, it's also very outdated. Well over 3 years old.
Meh. Cases are personal preference, IMHO. If you get one from a reputable company, almost all are going to do what they're designed to do. I've ordered a multitude of cases from different companies over the years for customer builds and I've never gotten one I wanted to send back. I always read through the features, compare prices with others, and settle on one I think I like best.
I would also go with a Western Digital Black over Blue, quite a lot faster for not much more money.
If he's using the SSD as his O/S drive, a WD Blue would be fine for data storage. No sense in wasting money on the performance of a WD Black drive if you won't utilize it. They typically run $20-30 more for the black version, and unless you're using for your O/S drive, I doubt you'll notice the difference.
