I'm looking to build a new gaming rig, with a budget of around a $1000. I already have a 7970 and a 2tb hdd for the build. I plan on crossfiring a second 7970 down the road so a full atx board and full size tower are a must. I'd prefer to stick with intel but am not completely set on it. I'd like to have OC capability on the CPU. I was debating usind a Cooler master HAF XB as a case, but am open to other options. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think I could go with a mid tower case. The 7970 is not a small card by any means. I know one will fit in a HAF 912 if you move the hard drive bays, but I'm worried that when I pick up a second 7970 down the road that it wouldn't have clearance in a mid tower case, and I'd rather the extra space for airflow if I do crossfire.
