This is all from newegg. I posted before but not many responses but i changed it a bit and shortened it up. Any suggestions or input would be great, especially if something is not compatible.

I currently playing League of Legends or Starcraft 2 but im really open to any games. Im just going to use the hard drive i just bought for my computer that stopped working. Its a Western Digital blue i think its 3Gbs but i cant remember. i Might downgrade the Graphics card to the Radeon 6870 to save some money casue im not too sure if its really worth the extra 100 to be a series up .

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to get the locked i5-3570, you might as well get the i5-3450, the extra +-.2 GHz isn't going to make that much of a difference.

Depends on what GPU you go with - Radeon 7850 and GTX 560 require minimum 550W. If you want something higher like a 7870, 7950 or GTX 670, you'll want minimum 600W.

Why not use a case that supports the front panel USB 3.0 such as the Antec Three Hundred Two: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811129180

I mean if ya got it, ya might as well use it.

That's a good choice, I'd suggest the Corsair 300R as well: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139011
