That is a greal build I am upgrading mine to be actually almost to that exactly. I have the i5 2500k and it is great, you chose a okay case if you spend 50 dollars more you can get something like the cosmos s which is worth it if you want a less expensive case get this one..

Then other than that you can get 110 fps on that system on 1920x1200 resolution.

The case is one of the best reviewed cases ever; the PSU is perfectly suited of it.

For the RAM, I can't tell whether its low profile

Why are you using a Micro-ATX MoBo in a mid tower computer ? I'd suggest a full size board like the Asus P8Z77-V

As for the GFX.....last gen cards under $250 ... pick one that suits ya needs.

Guru3D uses the following games in their test suite, COD-MW, Bad Company 2, Dirt 2, Far Cry 2, Metro 2033, Dawn of Discovery, Crysis Warhead. Total fps (summing fps in each game @ 1920 x 1200) for the various options in parenthesis (single card / SL or CF) are tabulated below along with their cost in dollars per frame single card - CF or SLI:

$ 150.00 6870 (434/701) $ 0.35 - $ 0.43
$ 200.00 6950 (479/751) $ 0.42 - $ 0.53
$ 240.00 6950 Frozr OC (484/759) $ 0.50 - $ 0.63
$ 200.00 560 Ti (455/792) $ 0.44 - $ 0.51
$ 210.00 560 Ti - 900 Mhz (495/862) $ 0.42 - $ 0.49

These have the best bang for the buck

I do not think it is low profile

the reason for Micro-ATX is that it was cheaper and i got all that i need on it "is there any problems using that in stead of ATX

for the case i kinda like it is there a problem with it

for the HDD i like the Seagate Momentus and will get that in stead

and I do not really understand what you mean about the GPU do you mean that i is a good choices with the XFX HD6870 or not

I am wondering if i should take a 120gb SSD in sted and use my old
