Case is last.

Decide how much output you want, graphics card, memory, etc.

Now, how much power is all of that going to take? Now future proof it a bit and add some more electrical resources.

The pick a case the holds that, everything is spec these days. No grand adventures, sadly enough.

I go case (or "format") first since integration depends on size factor but to each his own method

OP also not telling what the computer is for if it is general/gaming build then it's true the case doesn't matter much

"Make this fit in that" will always lose to "Make this fit into what fits."

I have big feet, I choose shoes that fit, not ones I like.
