So after spending a few days around the forums I finally decided on my final product for my PC, over the past two nights I've been purchasing my parts and designing my rig and this is what I bought. My original budget was under $900 but I got carried away  ^_^

 

Let me know what you guys think 

 

Thanks!

Wow thanks guys! It was really everyone on this form who helped me piece this beast together, I just added the fans and threw in the SSD, I went with the 250 GB 850 EVO over my 120gb SSDNow so I don't run into issues with the R/W speeds. 

 

I'm hoping everything comes in one piece, for some reason I have horrible luck when it comes to getting items shipped to me. Almost on all instances I had a damaged product :(

Its pretty much the closest to perfect one can achieve.

Perhaps a better monitor?

If you are willing to spend a bit more the Asus VG248QE is a great 144hz refresh rate 1m response time monitor at a cheap ~270USD price

Very nice. I would've downgraded the 850 EVO to get a better CPU heatsink, but I can't complain ;)

What other SSD would you recommend? And cooler, I'm really trying to keep the budget under under 1250 now, but I do have the option to cancel my order real quick because I just placed it a few minuets ago.

I plan on upgrading the monitor in a few months to something pretty nice, maybe 1440p for now I believe this should do.

If you've already ordered, don't cancel! It seems that you have a white colour scheme, maybe consider getting a cheap white fan for the 212 EVO

That sounds like a good idea, I need to see how many fans my motherboard will support, Also what would you recommend for a fan, another SP120?

yeah, if that's what you like. They're not that good, but aesthetically amazing

I actually got two of these http://www.directron.com/rffz14002.htmlfor the front intake and I still have the two 120mm fans that come with the case and the two SP120's. I'm going to see if I could rig them to the 212 EVO.
