ok cool. I am at 920.91 with no video card. Any GPU suggestions, and any better PSU that you all would recommend that might be cheaper?

If you're wanting to drop the price, grab a Hyper 212 and a MSI Z77 G43. Cheaper and still amazing alternatives. Depending on what your budget is, a 7850 might be a good choice or maybe even a 670 if you can get your hands on one. Regarding the PSU, that Antec is a great deal and I'd be surprised if you can beat that anytime soon.

Changed the noctua to a Hyper 212 earlier, and that mobo looks nice. Took off the asus and added the msi it is now at 890.91 with no video card. I am still looking around

670

The GTX 670 is THE better card and gets close to 7970 performance but with the $399.99 price tag. I'd get that without a doubt if they are still in stock when you make a purchase.

I was leaning towards the 670 anyways haha. I am at 1290.90 thanks guys :3

I think the setup is fine but needs a good card like the GTX 460 (120$) No need for water cooling air cooling will work just fine,and it will also save money.I'm also not trying to promote piracy here but paying a hundred for a OS is also a rip off when you can get it for free lol with key.

Anyway for the case I recommend a antec lanboy.

Kinda like this but you can find it on newegg has well for alot cheaper:P But anyway up to you but this case just has better air flow.

I pretty good actually but I would consider a Nvidia 580 they're pretty pricey at $450 but I think its worth it and also to whoever said you don't need a TB trust me you do or your going to have to get another hrd drive and you might lose track of some of your files, plus its just convenient to have everything on one drive and not have to worry about running out of space.

This DVD drive is cheaper:

750 watts is too much in my opinion, unless you want to add another card or I'm looking at the wrong graphs. This combo will get you a terabyte hard drive and a quality PSU for $170:

I also wouldn't say the Evo is $13 better than the Hyper 212+. Just an option:

Also, don't buy the OS.

And activate it with Daz loader:

r00t_b33r is correct about the PSU, but if spending the extra money to be safe when he eventually wants to OC both the CPU/GPU and add another 6870, the extra 100w couldn't hurt.
