One thing I forgot, I need it to be wireless, any recommendation? Or should I go with a USB adapter?  

I think I'm going to go with this build, and I'm going to wait for the r9 480 to come out

I like @herman mcpootis's build.  If I could recommend a good red case though, it'd be something from the Phantom line.  Worth it if you can spend a little more.

Also the newer Corsair CX models are actually recommendable, and can shave a few $$$ off the build.  Plenty of juice for the RX 480.
