1st suggestion .... list ya components ... add links if so inclined but few will wanna risk RSI checking all ya links. :)

CPU is 2 generations old and besides not being socket compatible isn't saving you any money. You are spending $435 and this current generation combo from same MoBo line is just $10 more

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1863893

$150 is as a lot on HD space ... for $35 less you could have a 2 TB with a build in SSD that will boot ya box in 16.5 seconds as opposed to a HD's 21.2 and a SSD's 15.6. Avoid HDs like the WD Blue which sit in 63rd place on THGs hardware charts

Avoid single sticks, ya want 2 x 4GB. Faster memory, lower price
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231689

$87 - 10% off w/ promo code EMCPAPF35, ends 9/10 = $78.30

I'd read the reviews on the 760 before buying the EVGA

9.0 Rating EVGA
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_760_SC_ACX_Cooler/32.html

9.2 rating MSI
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GeForce_GTX_760_TF_Gaming/32.html

9.1 Rating Asus
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_760_Direct_Cu_II_OC/32.html

That 912 is a bit long in the tooth.... and no USB 3 Ports

the cosair case keep an eye out it was 47.00 last month on sale with rebates it not a bad case it has better layout then the haf cases. drop the i7 to the newer 4690k use the saving for a faster gpu. on the gpu wait a few weeks to order it the newer 900 cards from nvidia are dropping soon.
