This doesn't really matter. What is your budget and motherboard size?

1. yes, you can use a asus motherboard but it depends on the model. in your budgen I think that that is the best motherboard. and it looks nice, not like those gold asus ones...

2. ok

3. that gtx 660 will probably bottleneck the system and you will see a huge inprovement in games with that 290

4. what's with the psu? evga, 750w, gold, fully modular. I don't understand

here's the "updated" build

why that expensive ram? ram is ram. it's like... toilet paper brands :P

you won't probably fill those 2tb anyway. what are you planning to store on it?

I don't know what you want to say about the chase I choose and the corsair c70. yes, the system will fit in the c70 but I think that the c70 it's a ugly case "/

don't skimp on the psu. it's better to buy a new one :)
