Is this RAIDMAX case any good?

If I had that hardware, I would personally go with a nice case (w/out a PSU) and purchase a quality PSU separately. It might cost a bit more, but I feel it would be worth it in the long run. My example, see below.

Don't go for that Raidmax. Just check out the PSU. 13 amps on the +12V rail is just pathetic for a PSU over 400W.

I second the Sonata.
 
The chassis itself is okay. I have the same chassis sold as an Aspire "Alien" case. Yep, the +12v is pretty weak, so if you like the look of the case, get it and get another power supply. FYI, I've bought some SuperFlower TTGI 350W power supplies that are rated at 22A for the +12v. Your 6800 video card would thank you if you a unit that "put out" more. BTW, IMO those style cases are pretty noisy, fan-wise.
