Yea a 212 Evo should work great with an i5.


Not sure why you want to crossfire with those video cards? For most users, one single better GPU far outperforms 2 mediocre older ones. If that is your GPU budget, I'd go with a GTX 770. You don't need expensive keyboard/mouse also, unless you really want them.

Suggested replacements..

Oh yeah didnt mention Im runnning eyefinity. Also if I go with the I5 I won't need a water cooler as they run cool enough for air. I agree with the 780 though.. I will prob be going 780 (maybe ti) sli'd next build
 


Yes it is, It's really great if you like ecchi/comedy anime ( which I see you do since your avatar is Heaven's Lost Property 😛) .

Some other anime's that are good in that genre: Rosario + Vampire, Highschool DxD, Highschool of the Dead, Campione!, Infinite Stratos, Sekirei, and Is This a Zombie? just to name a few which came to mind.
