Greetings all,
I'm looking to build a microATX gaming PC. I've been happy with AMD products for the past 10 years or so, but I'm not opposed to Intel. I'm really looking to get out the door with a good gaming PC under $1000. Here is what I've come up with:

I'd appreciate your suggestions. Also, I currently have this powersupply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371015
Do you all think I could continue using this PSU? Not sure about the cord management, which is why I was thinking modular. Thanks in advance.
