I wouldn't buy that board, the asus sabertooth is one of the best. Their is no way you need 1000 watts for your rig, even if you cross fired 7970's. I understand you like that case, but it is very over rated, the NZXT Switch 810, is $100 cheaper and has way more space, and it looks very nice.

What would you recommend for a psu? I just don't want to under do it. I know the case isn't that big and all I just really enjoy the look and colour of the case. It's an eye catcher in my opinion and most of my friends and I kinda compete on this kinda stuff lol

Id probably recommend the Intel i5 3570k since its around the same price as the Fx 8350 (Uk wise) and has a greater yield of performance . Just means switching the motherboard for an Lga 1155 enabled one . But its up to you

Thank's for the input, much appreciated I'll look into the cpu and mobo. What would you recommend for a power supply?

Do something that's actually cool if you want to blow them away. Getting a big ricer case is soooooo last decade. Do a build in a Bitfenix Prodigy!

It will support all the hardware you need and you can fit a FREAKING D14 in this thing.

What I'd do in your position:

Bitfenix Prodigy of whatever color you prefer
Asus P8Z77-I
i5-3570K
8GB Samsung 30NM RAM
Noctua NH-D14 but with pretty fans like Corsair SP120s or other 140s with high static pressure
Rosewill HIVE-550 with extensions
Crucial M4 in whatever capacity you want
No optical drive because it's 2013 FFS
Gigabyte 7970
Whatever hard drive
Lights and what not if that's your thing
I'm sure you can find a custom window for this thing. Get both.

My god I'm drooling.

That's actually such a sweet case, It seems like it would be pretty expensive though?

$80 for black and white. Everything will still be a whole lot cheaper than it would with the parts you linked in the topic.
