I believe I should start from scratch for a very good gaming computer. I have a Dell XPS 8500 now..

Take away:
i7 3770k CPU ( or should I get a new one? )
the hard drive
heatsink

Buy:

I also want a computer case for the right price and an LED light in it, so I can see in it( I'm a noob when it comes to this and still learning about building computers)

any thoughts or suggestions would be awesome. have a good day.

Hi. I can tell you right now that the Motherboard is not going to work with that Processor. The Processor is a 3rd Gen Ivy Bridge which takes a socket 1155 motherboard. You have chosen a socket 1150 motherboard. This one would do fine: http://www.amazon.com/ASRock-Intel-Z77-Motherboard-Performance/dp/B007NP5PLO/ref=sr_1_28?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1405450509&sr=1-28&keywords=Intel
THis Power supply is a much better choice: http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Modular-Energy-Certified-P1-650B-BEFX/dp/B00I5HF0KU/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1405450816&sr=1-4 You DO NOT need 1000w andthat is a poror quality PSU anyway.

I would like to get the best see through case(possibly with an LED light) for the right price, whichever you believe is the best. I have a mid tower now, but if a full tower is better for the future as well, so be it.

Ok, your power supply choice needs some work. That is an off-brand power supply. Lots of watts for cheap. One bad thing about skimpy power supplies is that they die quick. One they die quick it's not pretty. Instead of simply just powerng the pc down, a skimpy power supply unit could surge the whole computer and take out multiple components with it. How would you like your $400 graphics card as a paper weight? Maybe that nice motherboard as the perfect non-functioning slab of silicon ever? If you have that much to spend on for your pc, I have two suggestions that will definitely keep your pc more safe and sturdy.

1. This power supply is only a little more expensive. But it is by a well known brand, it's GOLD plus not just BRONZE plus, it has good reviews, excellent protection from all kinds of power problems, customer support, and it is a great contender for that graphics card. It's 850 watts but trust me, you don't need 1000 watts anyway... here's the link below.

2. Your cpu is lacking, and i'm pretty sure it wont even fit into the socket of that motherboard. When the motherboard you choose says LGA 1150, you need to make sure the cpu you want is an LGA 1150 cpu. Here's a pretty futureproof cpu that will work in that motherboard. I personally go with AMD but if this is what you want, go right ahead! Here's a link below to a proper cpu.

3. And you mentioned wanting a full tower? Here's a link to mine, comes with lots of leds, adjustable fan settings and adjustable leds. Also did I mention it comes with 7 fans?
