Hey Guys, Im currently building a PC and would like to be able to run all of the modern games and future games Maxed out on 1080p or Maybe even 1440p later on, I have chosen these parts as they seem to be the best bang for buck and I am also going for a red and black build if you couldn't tell already. I have chosen the 8320 because I have heard great things about the over clocking of the CPU and how good it can be during live streaming and rendering as it has multiple cores (Although I am stuck between this and the 8350). For the Cooler I have chosen a the Corsair h55 as it is a great cooler for the price and also since I will be pushing the CPU to its limits and the Stock cooler will not cut it. The motherboard is a great option for me as it is red and black and supports crossfire and is optimised for gaming! (what more could you want for such a cheap price) With the RAM I decided to go With the Kingston Fury RED Series as it is cheaper that the black faster speed and also suits my builds theme. The SSD and HDD are both quite standard I find Kingston a very reliable brand and also Western Digital as this Hard-drive is recommended in almost every build you see. The GPU'S I managed to get for $300 for both and that is cheaper than buying one brand new! also they are new and don't have much usage on them which made this irresistible and I just had to buy them. With the Case I am still very split I don't know which one to add whether it should be a Corsair Spec 02 or 03 or whether I should even use a completely different windowed case from companies such as NZXT or Fractal to name a few (keep in mind I want to spend around $80 on the case and at most probably around $90) Finally the power supply I am aware my system uses more than the average user in Wattage and was wondering if this power supply is going to be able to handle an OC'ed CPU and OC'ed GPU's running in SLI if someone would be able to help me with choosing another PSU or whether this one will cut it.
-AMD 8320 3.5 GHz -Corsair H55 Liquid CPU Cooler -MSI 970 Gaming Motherboard -Kingston Fury Red Series 2x4GB 1866mhz -Kingston Fury 120GB SSD -Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB -2x 280x Windforce Edition -Corsair SPEC-02 or SPEC 0-3 (Or any other cases around this price range) -Silverstone Striderplus 850W 80+ Silver Certified PSU

Any Feedback would be appreciated also I live in Australia so if you edit the build I would like to stay within this price range of $1000 :)
