Hi, I'm building a new rig with the NZXT Phantom White and I want to know if this build would work together nicely. This would be mainly used for gaming, designing on Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, etc. Probably won't be using much movie editing, but maybe some music making. I'll post the links under each item as well.
Case: NZXT Phantom White

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX670 (I'm thinking about maybe getting 2, if I have enough money for it. I don't know if this is the best GPU either. I'm hearing the GTX690 is good, but I don't have the cash for it. Which one is the best for its price and for my build?)

I want to put in a good soundcard for this too, because i really like listening to my music in high quality. I don't know which soundcard to get though, if I need one.
So this is my basic setup. I'm new at building and I'm just looking for a fast, smooth gaming PC with an i7-3770k Processor, good graphics, but not too expensive.
I'm most likely getting dual HD Monitors for this, if it makes a difference to the components. Also, I want to get a super quiet cooler for my PC. I don't want too much noise coming from it. Is the Hyper 212 good for it?
Any of the components listed above can be changed, if you guys have better suggestions. Am I missing anything? What MB do you prefer? Thanks for helping!

Isnt the i7 a faster processor though? I thought it would run smoother or more apps and whatnot. And for the GPU, I've researched this a lot and have seen more writers say that nvidia has the edge on graphics as of now. At first I was looking into the 7970, but have been told that getting two GTX 670s would be the better choice. If I got the 7970 by itself, would it still perform optimally and be compatible with my build? And by the way what motherboard do you have for your rig?
