I forgot to mention that I'm trying to stay around $500. Do you have any suggestions to stay in that price range?
 
not without scarificing a lot of gaming performance

1: vertex 3s fail a lot
2: the 6670 wont play many games (main thing that needs to change)
3: apevia cases were crap from what i heard from g-unit
4: raidmax psus are also bad
5: you dont need a sound card
6: wireless keyboards arent great for games

1. The ssd is only for the OS and a few programs. I already have OS btw. I have a hard drive already so the rest of my stuff will go on that.
2. After posting on here asking about graphics cards, all 3 people who responded said to deffinetly get a 6670. Plus reading numerous reviews, that were all positive.
3. The reason for the apevia case is because it was 80 or 90, but its on sale for 30, so, why not.
4. Im aware of raidmax's reputation, but this is a small build so I don't need to go overboard.
5. I would like a sound card because I can't stand average audio quality when listening to music, dubstep, etc..
6. Wireless keyboard for typing, I use a controller for gaming..

It will work, 6670 not bad but probably won't give you 1080p resolution. It will play all the games but reduced settings and resolution.

Get this PSU for 20 after rebate:

the 6870 can play bf3 at ultra at 40fps if you overclock it a bit

1: for the ssd, the crucial is the one to go for
2: because apevia isnt a great brand and they need to get rid of those cases
3: i dont take chances on buying a cheap psu
4: you wont hear a difference in dubstep or anything modern. A LOT of classical music is worthy of a sound card. even then i wouldnt get one at a 500 dollar budget
