This is my idea for a super gaming computer Id like to build. So far its up to $1,050 and I am sure im missing a couple things and need help with configuring all this to make sure its compatible. Any suggestions is wonderful Thanks.

This is what I had in mind. I understand im missing a cd-rom drive but the computer i am using now hopefully can be used towards that. I was hoping I could also reuse my fans from it. I just need to know if this setup will work and whether or not im missing anything. Please help me.

Try something like this, it's a bit more balanced and nice blue/black build. It won't take a CD drive as it has no 5.25" bays but you can use an external when you need one. Also added a HDD.
