As the title says I am looking into building my very first computer. Its main purpose will be gaming, mostly modern games like crysis, left for dead 2 and tf2. Also I will be running linux in Vm's but probably only one Vm open at a time, internet browsing and word processing, thats basically it. I am extremely new to building computers so sorry for the dumb questions in advance. It would be great to be pointed in the right direction for a setup that does these two things well for my budget.
I have started to assemble a rough setup for a computer build, below are the parts I have picked out for the rig. I have a few questions.
I notice when searching for the GPU on newegg.com I have multiple versions come up from different companies, which one would be the best? And why are some cheaper than others when it appears to be the exact same GPU?
Also I haven't settled on a PSU yet. What is a good quality one and how much wattage would I need for a setup like this?
Input as to whether this is a good machine for my budget would be much appreciated, Also if anyone has any experience with the case I have picked out, your experience with the case would be very helpful. If their are any other quality cases from Antec for cheaper, those would be helpful as well, if I might need to cut cost somewhere and put it into a more vital component.

Price comes out to be $620 with these parts, but still missing a PSU. Would this be a good setup for this price and is all the parts are picked out so far compatible with each other? How long would you estimate this setup would last me? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to have everything in one post.
