1- The 850W PSU is an overkill unless you want to SLI in future....
2- Why get a full tower....get the a mid ATX tower save some money....
3- Get ddr3 1600....Since haswell supports a max of ddr3 1600 the ram you bought will run at 1600 mt/s unless you tweak it manually...Moreover the performance difference between ddr3 1866 and 1600 in intel setups is minimal at most..(2-3%)
 
yes I know but that wasn't my question lol.
1:so I can upgrade later/SLI
2: I could be swapping to the Corsair Vengeance C70. but I'm not sure if my mobo will fit in it as well as the graphics card.
3:because its the same price
 
Q1)Ok so the Mobo you chose will fit into the antec 1200. Q2) Depends where you put the h100i if above the mobo at the top yes most likely. Q3) I chose the same GPU in my build and I used a micro ATX case (prodigy), in your case it will fit just fine.Q4) Regarding OC the CPU I wouldn't OC more than 4.5gHZ without putting to much strain.Q5)850watts is OVERKILL for the system you are building but buying it will make it futureproof (in the end it's your decision.
 
I had to change my antec 1200 for the Corsair Vengeance C70. it just better for my system. now I need to know if my psu,mobo and graphics card will fit in my case
