Any problems with this build? [Noobish]
Last response: in Systems
Any thing that won't work well with each other or anything I need/don't really need? If I did something silly it's because I'm rather new to this. Thanks for the help in advance! ![:wahoo:]( ":wahoo:")

More about : problems build noobish
no need for the water cpu cooler . A relatively cheap air cooler like the cooler master hyper 212 evo works extremely well
or hard drive cooler which is pretty much useless
no need for a 1000 watt power supply since 500 watts will power that and 650 give you a lot of expansion overhead
The motherboard cant run two high end graphics cards so you definitely wont ever use 1000 watts

Change case to Cooler Master HAF XM.
912 got very old. It's not bad, it's just that HAF XM is THE king of Mid Tower cases these days, it will have everything you need AND more, and it's price quite affordable.
Also, if you're getting HD 7870 - definitely take MSi's HD 7870 "R7870 Hawk". It's THE very best HD 7870 out there.

Best solution
What is the primary use for this PC?
If it is for gaming, the 3770K is too expensive, and a 7870 is inappropriately weak.
A 3570K @$100 less would be better.
A GTX670 @ $100 more would be better.
Water cooling is never needed.
This looks like a cyberpower build. A 1000psu is overkill. And, standard psu means a cheap brand. Do not buy unless you know exactly which psu you are getting. 600w or so should be sufficient.
Do you need two wireless adapters?

500 will not reliably power this rig, hes rolling the 7870, several additional adapter cards. I highly recommend you stick with what is in the list, the additional power gives you plenty of headroom and should you decide to, you can replace the motherboard and add an additional video card or a higher end video card without getting another power supply.
Why set yourself up for having to upgrade something you should have already had in the first place. Power supplies also produce less power as their components age so always get a good amount more than you expect, NEVER skimp on the psu. I would also like to note that remember a psu will only put out what its being drawn for, so a 1000 watt will only put out the 600 or so that you need unless its required for more.

Well, a water cooler is actually on sale for cheaper than the cooler master hyper 212 evo and annoyingly enough I can't go below 1000w in the builder. Got rid of the hard drive cooler, anything else? Also read that the 12 in 1 card reader was rather crap can anyone confirm?

I suspect they are ripping you off.
How much do they want?
Liquid cooling is not necessary, more expensive, noisier, and more trouble prone.
If they will not identify the 1000w psu, stay away.
I actually started shopping with them, spent a lot of time on their forums as well as here and could have gotten a system that spec'd the same as mine for about the same as building it myself. Having said that, I did decide to build it myself and couldn't be happier, my main reasons were:
1. Long wait - when I was looking they were taking around 6 weeks to ship.
2. No guarantee on who makes all of the components (like the video card, you could choose type, but not brand in all cases).
3. I would rather troubleshoot problems I created in the first place.
Newegg has an excellent 3 part series on building your own, check it out before you make a final decision.
