Ok i made a quick build but like i said it goes over my max although not to much to be worried about but like i said 900 has to the tip a little over is acceptable but my point of a little is like $50-60.(IMPORTANT: A COMPATIBILITY CHECK WAS NOT DONE EXCEPT FOR RAM AND MOTHERBOARD TO FIT THE CASE EVERYTHING ELSE WAS OF OFF A QUICK LOOK OVER!)

Look at either of the above builds that you didn't make. Both of them cost decently less, and will game better than what you made. He just went the route of saving a little money. You just aren't very good at putting together lists. Case is the last thing you should look at. The case you have selected is for people who are making build twice the price as yours, when you spending 1800 on a computer, the extra $80 isn't all that much. With you though, $80 is the difference between a 650ti and a 7870le/7950. you also spent to much on ram. Get some $40 crucial ram, it will be just as effective. There is no need for you to be getting a z77 mobo. If you spend less $20 less for a b75, you will see no performance drop because you can't oc anyways.

I did say i was power hungry in the mind set right hints the high end price on low priority items anyways THANKS FOR THE HELP YOU ALL.

 

[lt_dan_zsu]

Yeah, for your budget, the case should be more of an afterthought. If you ever start spending more on pcs, going all out on an awesome case is fine, but you can get a really good case for under 50.
