Can that 7870 be overclocked on the motherboard? I'm just asking because I want to squeeze as much performance as I can.

I'll post my opinion on the GPU in this build next week. I can't believe it, gotta give a big kudos to Newegg on this. Ordered yesterday (paid for 3 day shipping, and express processing- $9) and got it today... now I'm waiting on amazon... lol

Here is a similar build to the OC PC I'm building tomorrow. The only things I changed were the case and I removed the SSD to bring the cost down.
This, is a VERY OC'able Build. (CPU, RAM, and GPU). If there's a micro center near you, you can save $50 if you buy the CPU/MOBO/Cooler before 2/11 (2/10 last day of current sale)

Hi everything is nice, except for the HAF 912. Get the NZXT Source 220. Really, not worth it to get a HAF 912. It's a very old case with no usb 3.0.

It's a very old case with no usb 3.0.I opted for the Fractal Designs Define R4 for my build. I just tried to bring the cost down. I would actually have said the Corsair 200r, but it is out of stock at newegg, and at amazon it's $69.99. I just kinda followed the leader for a cheap case. I'll have to take your word on the NZXT. No reason not to believe. (though, front port USB 3.0 isn't a deal breaker as you're given a bracket for 2 extra with that MOBO, and you can always get an extender)

So how hard will building the PC be I've read up on it but I'm still a little scared something might go wrong.Pretty easy, really. Take your time. I suggest watching the video by newegg on youtube. Just search "how to build a pc". They're are quite excellent. The only part I suggest doing differently is the thermal paste. I suggest line or pea method. You can search those on youtube as well, just search "how to apply thermal paste".
