mid tower is perfect for gaming

it will cool just as good as a full tower and is smaller

full towers are more for extra stuff like water cooling or adding big items inside

nothing wrong with phantom 410 it looks really nice but i would rather go with
1)Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0
has a very nice look to the case, a clear side panel to look at the beauty, and LED fans
2)NZXT Phantom 410 CA-PH410-B1 White Steel
the white model has a really shiny white
3)Corsair Carbide Series 300R
low profile computer, nice cable management, and cooling is better than you think

PSU: not much of a fan of OCZ PSU
like this one better
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.913307
500R black-has a fan controller, white LED fans, cable management is so easy and has a lot of room just as much as a full tower
HX750: is modular, silver rated for better efficiency, and is made by a better brand with great support

670: nothing wrong here you can go lower to a 7850 which can max out most to all current games fairly well and since you are also buying a monitor

UD5H: doubt you will need 3xPCI 3.0 slots go with its little brother UD3H and if you combo it with a i5 3570k you will be saving more money with the option to overclock if you wanted to
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.947924

as stated above you can still go with the locked version of the i5 instead of the unlocked

it is the same price and you do not need to overclock it if you do not want to it will just be available to you.

since you are going G.skill low profile Ares i suggest getting a hyper 212 evo/plus to keep the CPU less hot and to make it quieter

combo HDD with a burner if you need it to install the OS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.936991
i usually take my old burner to just install it to my new computer

G110 is a really nice keyboard with a nice feel not to mention a good price range

the mice you have there is the older deathadder if you want some new features like some useless stuff like LED here it is
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826153055

i personally like RATs mouses with adjustable weights pretty much the whole mouse is adjustable
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826201006

DVD burner: as stated above save some money with the combo

For the Hyper 212, do I need this to make it fit in my case? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103432&Tpk=hyper%20212%20evo%2fplus

 

[boulbox]

this is not necessary in the package it will already come with all the things you need
