Unless you run 4 7970s OCed, you will only need 550W. Get the XFX 550W for $75. What motive do you have for getting a full tower case + that closed-loop cooler?

We I'm going to over clock the i5 and with the 2 7970s I would need at least 1000watts but I am also getting this for future upgrades too.

That is wrong. 2 7970s will be fine on a 750W PSU, even after overclock. The only reason you should get a Full Tower is if you run a true water cooling setup with 2+ rads.

Ah ok thanks for the advice dude. I might just keep it though only because I'm thinking kinda ahead for further modifications like you said water cooling and stuff. I do appreciate the tip though, I will really think about it.

Hmm ok, Well I will look into it later, thanks though. Also forgot to mention another reason for the case, it was because of the 3 230mm fans that it comes with. I like that theres a lot of airflow for keeping it cool inside.
