Hey guys thanks for looking, I am going to be building a gaming computer with a budget of $1300-1400. Here is what I am looking at:

Rosewill RNX-N300 IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless-N 2.0 PCI

ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157271
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor

Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102945
TOTAL: $1,285.53 (including taxing and shipping, but not MIR's)
Also I was wondering about many questions I hope can be answered here.
1) Should I wait for the HD 7950, or buy the 6950 now? ( I could use a 7900gt or onboard hd 3000 graphics)
2) Is this case worth the price tag it has on it? (or would this one work better:
Rosewill ARMOR Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811147047 )
3) If one day I were to crossfire, would 750W be enough for a psu, or would I want to go up to 800W or even 850W?
4) Is my motherboard going to be able to overclock decently?
5) Since the Motherboard is like "___" in the Thor V2, will that have any problems?
BTW: my budget is $1400. Consider that before making suggestions.
EDIT: does it look any better now?
Thanks for your help,
Jim
