Need help building new computer! Please?

^ If gaming is the main priority, then get the Intel i3 2100, it performs better in gaming even when compared with the X4 955/965,...
What PSU have you chosen ??

Where exactly do you plan on getting a HD6970 for $250, or am I missing something?

In any case, your CPU will barely keep up with your GPU, and you haven't mentioned the $80+ PSU you need to keep that running.

Much more realistic build

It costs $800, but you can shed the price by dropping the stuff you already have.

Or you can start here.

That's around $400 without the parts you have. You can upgrade the GPU to a HD6870 for +$75 or HD6950 for +$125.

Thank you. Here another build I made:

Is this better? Are there any incompatibilities/something wrong/cheaper or better? Also, is there a way to fit all this in a Micro ATX case if I use a Micro ATX AM3+ Mobo? I saw some on Newegg, and although they were rated 4 stars, they had horrible cons (Case bulges, horrible ventilation, etc.).

care to elaborate?
