My primary concern is the case, am i gonna have enough room to fit everything inside? And is the airflow good enough without being too loud?

HDD i would change it to samsung spinpoint f3

you case will fit everything in it....air flow i'm not too sure but i know coolermaster has the 922 and it has one of the best airflow. In terms of noise i would say it all depends on your fans

 

[Mark Heath]

That case should be fine for airflow, but if you're worried about airflow the CM HAF 922 is really good.

Apart from possibly swapping to the more expensive Corsair HX-750 (since it's more reliable and efficient), the build's good.

 

[Hereisphilly]

you can drop the psu down to 650w, cos thats enough to crossfire 2 5850s, let alone just running 1

oh yeh, missed that. Corsair TX-650's non modular, but good. Not sure of good modular ones for this price range.
