I'd suggest to just reuse your 2 optical drives from your old rig kung ayos pa sila. para bawas gastos.
Casing, I think possible pa gamitin yung lumang case. But in case bibile ka ng bago. Get one that has 120mm as the smallest fan inlets. Don't get ones with 80/90mm, mahirap maghanap ng quality replacement fans of reasonable price in those sizes locally. And get a case with removable dust filters, it helps.
Antec or Coolermaster or Silverstone or Lian Li are good brands. Thermaltake is ok din pero lahat ng na canvass ko dati parang walang filter kasama.
For RAID, I don't like it if its just for personal use. Adds complexity + cost and while the performance gain is noticeable enough for some I can live without it. Pero most motherboards have some by default naman so its there when you want it.
I think the main question here is how much do you want to spend on the video card. Kasi yan yung benchmark on what is reasonable to pair it with.
I kinda get the feeling naman na pareho tayo and don't do incremental upgrades. Parang bile na lang ng bago pag nababagalan na type. So its better you build around the performance limit of the video card para di sayang pera
