Hey

An year ago I moved to the USA, CA =D.
I brought some PC parts with me. Now it's time to build a gaming PC again and I need help with everything. Besides games like BF4 and etc I'm about to start studying digital film editing, motion graphic design, animation so a pc for the basic programs of those things would be nice.

I already have:
-Desktop HD WD Blue WD10EZEX (64MB Cache, 1.0TB)
-CPU i7 - 3770 LGA1155
-CPU cooler EVGA ACX active cooling extreme
-Graphic card sapphire vapor-x R9 280x 3G tri-x oc with boost
-mouse and keyboard

I understand just a little bit and I came with the options below:
-Rosewill THOR V2 Black SECC Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - $129.99

-ASUS VX238H-W White 23" 1ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED Backlight LCD Monitor - $139.99

-CORSAIR RMx RM750X 750W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Nvidia Sli ready and crossfire support Power Supply - $99.99

-G.SKILL TridentX Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-16GTX - $99.99

-ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $144.99

Grand Total: 670.06

I picked all of them at Newegg.com. I'd go for something cheaper but I don't want to buy something that would limit other parts performance. What do you guys suggest? Are the compatibility and performance matching?

Thank you
