Since your revision lowered the price should I add another 8Gigs of RAM? I will be able to afford it. Maybe some speakers too?

I will go with the gtx 780. Will a 3gb version by gigabyte do fine. For 509 dollars?

Also you have to keep in mind every dollar I add pushes this computer further away. So before telling me to add another 500 dollars remember that it's going to delay my purchase.

Last thing. I chose my previous case because of reviews. It is also smaller. The one you recommended to me has reviews saying it has some problems. And again maybe too large.

^ i thought a high end build like this need a room for future SLI
and ppl usually choose full tower roomy case like this

if you dont want to go SLI later, pick mid ATX case
honestly i am not into antec cases, my logic says eleven is better than nine. cheers :)
