I am more worried about quality compared to saving a few dollars... I also want this thing running very cool.

I am looking for people to let me know if they see a problem with this setup, like making sure everything will fit and all of it is compatible with each other.

I am pretty sure i want these parts, but i am open to people's opinion.

+1 Well said! Couldn't have said it any better. :D

I recommend a Corsair 750TX or a PC Power 750 if doing CrossFire. Else a Corsair 650TX.The Corsair/PC Power/Antec(some models) are very dependable and good quality than any Termaltake PSUs.
