Looks good! If you wish, you can add around $50 to get a better graphics card:

I would also get the unlocked i5 2500k, if you don't want to OC, then go with the i5 2400. The 2400 and the 2500 has almost no performance difference at stock speeds, but the 2400 will save you some money

Sapphire makes good graphics cards; never had any problems with any of my Sapphire cards before and always have a good O.C.. If you can thought get one with a vapor cooling. I have a Sapphire with vapor cooling and it's a good 5-10c cooler.

Thanks for the suggestions I'll look into the vapor cooling sounds interesting also I'm upgrading my ram it's at a tier 3 I hear which is bad. I might upgrade my Graphic cards depends on how much my total is...I'll do the calculations oh and also can one of you guys find a link for a new case that will support my specifications cause I hate that case to be honest...It has no side window and is just black which isn't that appealing to me if it can be like blue/red/yellow yellow esspically I'd very very much appreicate it! thank you guys so much for helping me out this far.
