Its under $1000 and will be good enough for know. and do you need a monitor?
If you have any doubts, dont hesitate to ask...

You dont need SLI now. (SLI is for Nvidia cards but Crossfire is for AMD cards)
You also dont need to Overclock your CPU. If you want to you will need to buy a CPU Cooler and the 'K' version of the Intel i5 3570

I am not sure if I need a monitor since I am using my TV but more than that I have limited desk space right now. My desk is used for studying, watching TV, playing my PS3 and was for using my laptop ( My laptop died a few weeks ago). I normally I have to rotate them out each time I want to use another one. Which bring me to my next question will the case you picked out be good or bad for someone with limited desk space? I am using a older full tower desktop and its okay when it comes to have much space it uses but I normally have to stand up slowly and move side ways in order to get out of my chair and move away from my desk.

I am sorry I forgot mention the limited desk space part in my post

The Corsair 300r is a Mid-Tower Case so it is smaller than your full-tower. Ill give you the Dimensions:

Height: 17.7''
Width: 8.3'' (front panel)
Depth: 19.1'' (side panel)

You can check the measurements and see if it can fit.
