Case: I actually need some help with this, I don't know what would be good enough to fit these parts if they work.

OS: Windows 7 SP1 64 bit

This is the first time I am building a computer and to my understanding, these parts should work together, but then again, I haven't done this before nor do I know a whole lot about computer parts. I need someone experienced to give me some input so I can know I am getting what I want. What I am looking for out of this system is medium-high to high settings gaming at 1080p 60fps. I am on a budget and can't really afford to spend more than about $950.

Alright, I will go for the 7850 and the 760k. The only reason I had the 650 on there was because I was talking with someone earlier and they said to get that over the 7850. I assume the motherboard is fine after a few moments of research. The only question now is what case do I get?

I honestly wasn't sure if the power supply I had chosen would be enough or too much, but it seems to be okay. Thanks for the help, I would prefer it if my first build were successful, and now I am pretty sure it is exactly how I want it.

That might be a while from now, depending on when I am paid. That, and I don't know how to build a computer. I was told it was as easy as following the instructions, but there was no way, at the time at least, to confirm or deny that claim. Don't worry though, I will post it when it is complete.

Ehh...I may go with Win8, but I will save that decision for when I go to buy these. Thanks for your help, maybe now, my mom won't doubt that this is an achievable feat.
