Hey guys. I'm building a new PC and I'm trying to use items from the Black Friday sale primarily but it isnt necessarily a requirement. Here is what I've picked out.

GPU - 2x Asus Geforce GTX 770 2gb - $310 ea
PSU - Corsair HX850 850W - $125
Motherboard - Asus Z87-Pro - $199
CPU - Intel i7-4770k Haswell - $289.99
CPU cooler - Xigmatek Dark Knight II SD1283 Night Hawk - $49.99
RAM - G.Skill Sniper 8GB DDR3 1600 - $49.99
SSD - Seagate 600 series 240GB Sata III SSD - $129.99
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM - $69.99

What I am wondering is will I need a full tower or will a mid size also work. I've heard with SLI GPUs it can be hard to fit. Thanks

Everything there seems pretty good, but I wouldn't go with the Dark Knight cooler, i personally think it is a waste of money. Go with the Hyper 212 EVO, it cools just as good as the Dark Knight.
As for the case situation: This is a very nice good case that has really good airflow and very good features and all of your components will fit inside. http://www.amazon.com/Zalman-Black-Tower-microATX-Compu...
