It looks good

All very solid choices, though, the HAF 912 will most definitely suffice, i have had both in a very similar setup and the 912 was more than enough. You'll want to get a few fans though...

For gaming you dont really need more than 4 gig of RAM , so an option would be to save a bit on RAM and spend a bit more on the graphics card

Other than that its a good build

^you should buy the hyper 212 on amazon no matter what.

55+40+45+20 = $160 savings. almost enough for a second hd6870?
