What do you guys think?
Will this build be compatible?
What would you recommends for the case? (Will mid-towers suffice?)

i recommend an ivy bridge as it has more performance and i also recommend the the cooler master TPC 812 vapour chamber cooler over h80. a better monitor would be the ve247h as it has faster response times and is more energy efficient.

Another good site to buy from is NCIX as you can price match on the spot

also everything checks out fine.

a good case would be the Corsair 600T or the 650D. they are both great cases.

1000w is total overkill for a single or 2 680s. you can make do with a 750-850w power supply

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/345710-31-1500-gaming <----- have a look at the build I posted on there.

If you want a modern case with great cooling then look no further than the Corsair 500R or 400R. Both of those cases have the best temps out of all the Corsair cases. The 650D is a hot box, and the 600T has a bunch of tiny fans not to mention it doesn't have a multi channel fan controller along with a 200mm side fan like the 500R. The 500R is as good as your going to get in that price range with the 400R not being far behind.
