CPU: i5 2500k for about $212 or an i5 3570k for $220, not sure yet

GPU: 7970 Sapphire for $399.99 or the XFX Double D Card only because its on sale for $359.99, cant decide

Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 $42 ( Worried if this will fit my GPU?? ) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O8J11E/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Aftermarket CPU: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus $25 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002G1YPH0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&smid=A2EUTVCJXLAJ4K

DVD Drive: LiteON IHAS324 $26 ( A couple more dollars expensive than others, but i want this one ) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QGDWLK/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

PSU: Corsair TX 650 Watt $76 after $15 Off Code http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005

Any and all help is appreciated

Everything should fit, though a few things.

Get the 3570K. There's no point going for an older and soon to be pulled out generation for only $8 less.

Get the XFX if it's cheaper. Both cards will perform roughly the same.

CM 430 isn't bad.... but I believe you can do better.

There are $17 optical drives out there, they all perform the same anyway. I don't get why you want the more expensive one.

PSU is a bit overkill. 550w would be more than enough for a single GPU system.

Ok i think ill go with the 3570k then.

I plan on overclocking pretty heavily my gpu and giving my cpu a decent overclock, are you sure 550 watts would be enough? I also plan to add an sdd and fans to my pc if that matters.

And for my case, i could get a better one, but is the one i have now have enough room and good enough air flow?

Thanks for responding so fast

I see, then the 650w would be fine. It seems to be in a good price as well anyway.

Everything should fit in the CM 430 except the CPU cooler. You'll also need to add a fan or two for better airflow since it only comes with 1 pre-installed fan.
I suggest the Antec Three Hundred Two.
