I'm about to buy these parts and I just want to make sure everything is compatible with each other. I can take some suggestions but they can't be any higher price than what I have now and they must be from Amazon. Also, I want some opinions on which case I should buy :3. Will the heatsink be small enough to fit in the case?
EDIT:This will not be just for gaming. I will be doing some video editing and Handbrake with it :)

Swap the ram for two sticks. If 4GB is enough for you, then by all means go to 2 X 2GB in RAM.

At this price point I would recommend swapping the 7770 for a 6850.
The 6850 after rebate would be about the same price.

PSU is good, albeit a little overkill. You can swap it down for something like a CX430 which should be about half the price of the Antec after rebate.

The cases are more of a taste thing. Both the Thermaltake and the HAF should hold up just fine for ya, although the HAF gets a lot more recommendations from folks.

What kind of games do you intend to play? If you are going purely for a gaming build in games that aren't threaded for multiple cores (Skyrim), an i3 might be more up your alley. The price is about the same once you drop the cooling. The difference would be in power consumption. Granted if that isn't a concern the AMD CPU should be fine.

Get a cheaper psu, you won't come close to that many watts.

With that, you could upgrade to 8gb of ram. You'll have to upgrade sooner or later, so just get a cheap 8gb kit.

7770 is fine, nice cheap gpu, that doesn't require many watts.

For the cases, IMO get the CM 912 HAF, as the series is very reliable, giving you good airflow throughout the whole pc.

Thanks! I'll switch the ram for two sticks. Can't do rebates :(. I like to have an overkill CPU just because I don't like swapping it out later and might reuse it later. I'll probably go with the HAF just because of air flow. I'm going to be playing games, but I want to do some video editing so that's why I went with the Quad Core. Thank you for the help :)

I know I don't need that big of a PSU but I just like the overhead for some overclocking and some power hungry parts I might put in later. Plus I might reuse it later. Looks like everyone recommends the HAF so there's the case. Thank you for your help :kaola:
