The only problem that I am currently anticipating is the power cords from the powersupply not being long enough in the computer case I selected. Can someone with more knowledge please look at the link to the powersupply and get me some links for the main power cable extensions I could potentially need to complete the build? ** I would be ordering those from frozencpu.com.**

For example, maybe I would need a 24pin ATX extension: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/ [...] Black.html

What other extension cables would I need to future proof myself? What is the other motherboard / CPU power connection I would need? Possibly one for the graphics card?

Thank you for your time everyone! I really appreciate the help!

I really don't think that you will have an issue with PSU cable length in that case, I've used it with a giant LianLi full tower and didn't use any cable extenders.

My only question is why that model mobo over the ASUS P8Z68-V? I've used both and for a single GPU the V is a great board.

Compatibility is fine.

The HX 850 generally has quite long cables, with the 24pin, 8pin being at least 60cm and the PCIe being 50/60cm.
The P280 is 52.6cm tall.
So you shouldn't need any extension cables. Altho if you are going to buy one I would suggest it be for the 8pin cable.

NZXT Hale90 850W 80Plus Gold Modular $170
http://www.amazon.com/HALE90-Power [...] 091&sr=8-1
This is every bit the equal (if not superior) to the HX 850. And the 8pin cable on this one is 70cm.

Cheaper HDD:
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM ST1000DM003 $125

You should be getting RAM without tall heatspreaders as they are unnecessary on DDR3 RAM and just make it more difficult to choose an aftermarke CPU cooler, if you ever decide to install one.

Excellent point -- I generally buy the G.Skill Ripjaws X as it is very reliable but has a shorter height that fits under my heatsinks on slot 1 much easier.

Good to know about the length on the cables--I probably won't order any extenders and just run to a local computer shop if I have to.

Even though the motherboard you mention is a great board, is the board I have picked any less good, or would I just be saving money with a non-pro version? For some reason I remember reading somewhere to go with the Pro model.

I think I will probably take the advice on the cheaper Hard Drive!

As far as aftermarket cooler, I will be using the Hyper 212+, but I have read that the vengeance RAM won't interfere with it.

You would $30 on the motherboard, the only difference is firewire (1394) support and a few more RAID options with the PRO. If you need those, spend the money, otherwise don't. No other differences than the name.

For the Intel i7 2600K it's cheaper in Micro Center, just take a look at their Website it is only $279.00

Darn I just checked that, and it says for "In Store Pickup Only." Thanks for the tip though.

I was hoping I could get at least two more people to give me the thumbs up?

Around here, not having everyone chime in to replace all your parts is two thumbs up. :bounce:
