actually looks great as compatibility and items quality.

As for th PSU, 750 is way too much for this rig unless you are going to crossfire realy soon. so a 550W ~ 620W will be enough.

For the casejust a few suggestions :

750W ? Why? LOL bro for even the rig i suggested 750 is a overkill don't waste your money on no productive items.100-150 extra watts then your rig is using are enough for even near future upgrads

He said 1000$ is the budge so how a 948$ rig is an over kill at all :D
he also said Smooth so :D !!!!!!
I suggested a (K) one so if he and i think he will overclock CPU what do you think evo 212 can handle the heat i bet not at all coz i used it and i'm using H100i its near to be perfect for an overclocked cpu like a custom loop.
trust me its way way way better then h100 corsair took closed loop HP cooler very seriously this time.
C70 is a very space giving case and well made for nice thermal solution and better to have for future upgrades it can fit all now and will fit all then.:D PSU is also passed by you and GPU .....aaaa yeah.....your right but radeon is changing names of GPUs you know why? find inside story.i suggest not to buy Radeon ones for atlest next 4 months.
