finally, if you could tell me what PSU unit to choose, my build will be complete
thanks for any help you guys give!
(ps - I will not be using more than one video card as the build is built with gaming as a second thought)

More about : graphics cards
The 6950 is the best performance wise.But the 560 is cheaper and performs very close to the 6950.I would reccomend the 6950 but only for the 2G version.I'm pretty sure the 2G's is the only reason the 6950 wins in the benchmarks.
Whats your budget for the PSU?And are you looking to SLI or Crossfire with the PSU?

Do you currently own a 560?
Your case is fine.It's capable of supporting a Full ATX board so it should fit the cards no problem.Airflow might be an issue if you decide to crossfire or SLI.
If money is not a option i would suggest going with a Gold Series PSU.Very very good quality PSU and will last for a very long time.

I don't currently own any video cards or any other computer parts except for the mouse and keyboard!
I chose the Corsair 650w because it will put me right at $1000 for the entire computer. Here is the list after those above adjustments ---
(Please comment and give feedback as this is my first build and I have been tweaking it according to peoples advice for a couple days now) The budget is roughly $1000-$1100, the purpose of the build is to multitask and gaming is a second thought)

If Multi-tasking is your prime reason for the build then i would suggest swapping out the 1T HD for a 750g or even 500g and get a SSD.You could either put the Operating System on it or applications.Whatever you need the most speed from.SSD's allow you to instantly access it making load times/start times nearly instant.
Did you make a decsion yet on which Graphics card you wanted to get?

I would suggest going with the Rosewill Destroyer Case.It is a great bargan.It comes with 3 fans and options for more.And has much better ventaltion than the NZXT.It is a bit smaller in width but it will defnitly accomadate a Hyper 212.

Either case is fine.I would rather go with the Destroyer because it has better airflow.If someday you did want to crossfire/sli that would come in handy.And it's just a general well being for the computer and all of the componets to have good airflow.
My suggestion is to get a SSD.No matter the size for either the HD or SSD it will fit providing the company sends 2.5" mounts with either package.When i boguht my HAF 922 case it shippied with mounting brackets for SSD drives.
Here is what a SSD driver really is if you don't already know..

Also here is a review of HDD vs SDD,just for comparison

Yah they are expensive.New SATA III just came out so make sure you get the SATA II versions because their cheaper.I do think your mobo is SATA III capable so if you do you can.
I think of SSD's as to only load important or every day use applications onto it.An example would be to install Windows 7 on the SSD and an application you use all the time(for me it would be game.)

For $4 more i would get the Corsair SSD.I think it's worth the wait for it to become back in stock again.It can write just as fast as it can read which is a lot better than the Intel.

Thats up to you i guess.How much saving you do and how much you acutally use the HDD.I don't really know.If it were me i would spend all my money on just the SSD and not even use a regular HDD.I don't take up that much space on a HDD as it is.And i think once you start seeing what the SSD is like and what it can do i'm sure you won't wanna go back to HDD's ever again.

PSU is ok.Everything else is fine.Just thought i'd let you know.The mobo you picked out is 1600O.C. and default of 1333 for the RAM.You bought 1600 RAM but the Mobo will underclock it to 1333 becuase 1600 is an O.C. function and 1333 is stock.You will have to manually set the timings in order to get it up to 1600.It's practialy the same price for 1333 and for 1600 so don't worry about it.If you ever decide to get AMD's new prossesor's coming out or get a new mobo for tri SLI then you can use that RAM at it's full stock speeds.
Ya the CD burner dvd/drive combo thing can also read regular CD's.

I can't find any.It is very difficult to find mobo's that are stock at 1600 i've been looking recently.
It shouldn't be that big of a deal.It's just running at 1333.In my mobo i have the same problem.I Bought the comp from cyberpower and they messed it up.It still works and it's not a huge performance decrease.It will be fine.
