cooling: Noctua nh-d14
optical drive: Sony BWU-500s

ssd:SanDisk Extreme 120 GB

Budget...1000$(i will take many things used :cpu,psu...) and some of them next month,probably the SSD

You are spending money in all the wrong places.

Downsize the case to a HAF 922 or 932. Get a i5-3570k or 2500k CPU. Get 1600mhz RAM, no need for higher than that. That is SO overkill on the PSU. Get a TX650 V2 and you'll be set. For cooling, that is a great cooler, also get out the CM 212 EVO and 812 TPC for cheaper options.

You probably don't need the sound card unless you have very expensive speakers.

Instead of the SanDisk get a Crucial M4 128gb, much better SSD.

Keep in mind TV's are very bad as Monitors, they'll work, but text may be blurry, and it may not look as good it can.

With all these changes, you can probably get a AMD 7870 or 7950. I recommend Sapphire.

You don't need that RAM. DDR3 1600 Cl9 1.5 V RAM is all you need. If you do alot of photoshop though you may think about going with 16 gb (2 x 8).

For your GPU, I suggest Radeon 7850/7870.

Your PSU has too much juice. 750 W for SLI/xFire or 500W or less for single GPU.

Don't really need sound card. Onboard audio is good enough for me.

Definitely get a cheaper case. Corsair 500R will be enough for your parts.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for CPU cooler.

Cheap and Power supply should not be used in the same sentence.

You will never ever ever in a million years use 1100W, and it is 88% efficient, at 50% load, so you have to be running at 550W on average to get the best efficiency.

A good 650/750W will be more than enough for a single card setup and even some dual card configurations.

I would still choose a 7850 over a gtx 570. Performance is similar (570 performs marginally better) but consumes significantly less power and produces significantly less heat. That is not to say that the gtx 570 is a bad card. Its just my preference. If you do want to stick with the 570, that is a good price.

Yes and no. You can research it if you want but I'm too lazy. Something about Intel and Nvidia being able to work better together. Complicated stuff I don't want to populate my brain with. :p

There is a 2.3 FPS difference at 1080p in Crysis 2. I don't you'll miss that 2.3 FPS will you? The 7850 uses less power and is quieter, keep that in mind.
