First two questions before starting any build:

- What use do I pretend to cover? (gaming, browsing, design, data analisis...)
- What amount of money I'm willing to spend on it?

After that you choose the hardware that most fit the two prior questions and then we'll find a case to wrap it all ?

An alternative approach, which is quite irrational and often meets the passion of a SFF enthusiast, is to choose your favourite case first. Then, try to squeeze as most powerful as the components can be into the case.
I think, often, the case is the 'soul' of the entire system, in the eyes of a SFF enthusiast.
