More about : build
For that budget I'd think I would scrap that whole build. CiT cases are garbage, and there's no point in a 6870 when you can get the 7850 for almost the same price now.

A bit over but far better case, GPU, and CPU. I also scrapped the SSD (Agility 3 isn't a good choice) in favor of the better GPU and CPU.
