Need advice on a sandy bridge build?

[trippindeath]

Approximate Purchase Date: february 12th
Budget Range: 1100 including tax, before rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, autocad, surfing,
Parts Not Required: just looking at building the tower i have all other components

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: i would prefer to get the parts from either newegg canada or ncix canada
Parts Preferences: I'm just looking for a mid tower case, intel sandy bridge processor with 2 22' screens

Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: my monitor resolutions are both 1920x1080

Some components ive been looking at are:

Corsair HX650

G.skill ripjaws 8GB 2x4 rated at cas 9 at 1600
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=57953&promoid=1275

asus p8p67 evo board
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=58084

i5 2500k processor
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=57962

WD blue 500g harddrive ( I hope to upgrade to SSD and a WD 2tb green later but it looks like the budget wont allow it at the moment)
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=23266&promoid=1030

MSI (gtx 460 cyclone or if i can make it work a gtx 560 twin frozer. Both cards are 1 gig)
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=58303
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=54624&vpn=N460GTX Cyclone1GD5/OC&manufacture=MSI/MicroStar

coolmaster hyper 212 heatsink ( to overclock the unlocked i5)
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=41337&promoid=1016

I am really undecided on the case sadly. I've been looking anywhere from the antec 300 to 900 as well as the corsair 600t or 650d which was showcased at ces. The only restraint i have is that it has to be a mid tower. I would really like a window and for it to be quiet but if i cant get the window quiet is first definitely top priority.

Theres a build on the bottom, 1200$ before MIR, blah blah blah.
