Ok So I had posted my build already but i did some improvement's

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/UNuniQueLY/saved/1WSk

I don't have a after market cooler in the build because I have push my budget to my maximum to fit it in. I do plan to get the evo if I can get the money while buying some of the part's but I'm mostly likey going to end up getting it after the build is done. Originally I was not going to overclock but I change mind I know a little about overclocking so if anyone can sent me to a website with tutorial or a video
so can learn. Any thoughts or feedback.

I Imroved it quite a lot for the same price. Now it has a much powerful 7870 Ghz Edition GPU, also a water cooler that you needed and just saved some money by going for the cheaper NZXT Case. It is good case though, you should not have problem with it. It should be just fine.

So here is the build after improvements for just the same price with a 7870 GHz Edition GPU and with a good air cooler :

Is this purely for a game rig? Or are you looking to do other things such as AV work on it?

If this is simply a mid to high end game rig then I would highly suggest making a few changes:
1) Spend the money on an Intel i5 processor. Even a non-K i5 CPU will have a whole lot of kick, and you can get the i5 4570 at Microcenter for $160, which is not much more than you are paying for your AMD CPU. Yes, you give up the option to overclock in the future.... but even at stock speeds it is nearly 2x as fast, so there is no way you can OC that AMD to match performance.
2) Motherboards are for features and connectivity. If you need a system that is going to have tons of drives and expansion cards then go ahead and stick with a full ATX motherboard... but the real likelyhood is that at most you would ever have a CD drive, a SSD for your system drive, and a RAID1 for documents and bulk files at some point in the future. That is only 4 drives, and that can be supported by just about anything on the market. As for cards you currently only have a GPU; Is there any real likelyhood that you will ever get a dedicated sound card? or a WiFi card? will you ever really want to deal with the annoyances of SLi or xFire on a midrange system?
The point is that if you do not need the features of overclocking, don't need more than 4 drives, will never have more than 1-2 cards installed, then you can get a much cheaper motherboard in the ITX or mATX range. Be sure to get something reliable, but there is no need to pay for features that you will not be using.
-Obviously, if you do want to OC, and have 100 drives and cards in the system then get something that will support that growth over time. But if not, then pair down the cost of your motherbaord, and invest more in parts that you will see performance improvements like the CPU and GPU
