I have built computers previously, but I have never purchased parts to build one.

OK so I have a general idea of what I want out of my system. I have the CPU and GPU picked out, but I am trying to conserve money after this part, so I have kept the rest pretty flexible and I need some help from a professional.

My budget is from 700-1200(but I just want the most bang for buck here)

Foundation Parts:
CPU : Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB

Now I am debating on the following parts and it seems to change a lot and I could use some suggestions/recommendations.

Motherboard : Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
Power Supply : Antec EarthWatts EA-750 Green 750 Watt
Case : Need suggestions

Now I am going to have 8gb of ram, but that's flexible and I can work that out on my own.


Thanks :D

This seems like a perfect solution. Thanks, the motherboard takes into account the pieces I am using without giving me the "extras" that would only be of use to a youtube. Thank :D
