I put the 780 on there as a placeholder. I would wait for the R9 290/290X release and either get one of those (the 290X should cost about the same as a 780 does now, maybe a little more) or take advantage of the inevitable price drop on the 780.

Heh, yeah. I must've clicked the wrong thing I meant to put the Evo up there.

For a cheaper case you can go with Cooler Master HAF 912 for $60.

And now that I think about it 750W PSU is somewhat overkill for this. Probably can get away with 600 or 650W PSU.
