I'm a little worried about that mobo after reading some of the reviews on newegg, but I do like the built-in Bluetooth. I'm definitely open to alternative Mobos without bluetooth, though.

You don't need 80GB, a 64gb is good enough. Plus this is SATA III & faster.

I don't think you need that case, but if you want it you can get it. I think the HAF 922 or Storm Scout would make a better case and save you money. But your decision.

^ agree, especially the case...I wouldn't spend anything more than $100 on a case because I want better components in my computer and maybe add a hard drive for other things?

http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page22979.htm <----- that psu is manufactured by Sirtec

Dunno if that's bad but according to HardOCP it's a decent PSU

You can get away with a 750W with Xfired 6950s. Here's the non-modular version of your original PSU choice, if you wanna save $35.

^ But the PSU you suggested cost the same as the 850w I suggested, though they have the same efficiency. Yours has 100w less.
