missing a good case to fit the cards+air flow

missing ram also! help! link to any ram possible,, I just need to order at this point over 1600 for better speeds?

Should I get an i5 instead of the i7? I'm mainly just going to be gaming.

Any other changes that should be made? I want to make my order within the next 30 minutes hopefully.

ram I would go for a 1600 one u don't need more than that...

make sure u increase the frequency from bios.

If you line in the US and if you have a microcenter in your city get the i5-4690K for $180. For memory I would suggest this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231536&cm_re=gskill_ddr3_1600-_-20-231-536-_-Product.

Also pick a 970 that has vents on the back so that hot air can exit the case. The gigabyte card doesnt have vents on the back. If it doesnt exhaust properly, the air will just circulate in the case. this becomes even more important since u have 2 cards running.
