well all that I posted up above equals to 600 dollars but I wouldn't be apposed to spending around 700-750 dollars and no I don't really have a cpu/gpu preference.

Wow thank you so much for your effort. I have one question, Would this case be okay with all the parts you wrote down? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811208057&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo

yep. that should work well. My main concern was making sure you had the performance you wanted going forward. i think that 760 should give you the graphic power you're looking for (which the 7850 won't)...
