It would fit just fine. 

Really needs a ssd along with some other changes.

Agreed. Maybe just a 128GB Samsung Pro SSD.

Not worth the money. There are cheaper ssd's that perform noticeably the same.

Go from 850w to 650, a psu of that quality will handle SLI just fine on 650. Xtra cash will benefit the greatly needed SSD like said above.

Hey look you found my sig.

Maybe drop the LED fan, go for a non corsair fan and save some cash I know the forum hot topic is corsair but other companies do make nice fans...

 

From there, if its worth it cut down the PSU a little bit and maybe change the cpu cooler and then you cna spend the left over budget on whatver you want!

I would suggest the 650Watt also. You might have overlay issues for the bottom mountable fan for the case if you go a 750Watt. I had that problem when I got my 850Watt PSU and a mid tower case. I had to upgrade to a full tower in order for it not to overlay.

Thank you all for your suggestions, I will keep them in mind and also what does an SSD do? I heard they die after a number of writes.

Oh, I also need to mention I will only have two trays for hard drives becuase the graphics card will use up the space for the other four hard drive trays.

SSD stands for solid state drive. Instead of using the conventional disk that a HDD uses, a SSD uses flash memory (kind of like RAM but a little different). By using flash memory, it can have very high read/write speeds. Take the Samsung 840 Pro 128GB. The Read/Write Speeds are 530 MB/s / 390 MB/s. What can you do with all that power? Well for one thing you can load Windows fast. I mean REALLY fast. For me it takes less then 15 Seconds to boot up windows 7. What about your games? You can load maps on COD Ghosts faster or load games faster with a SSD. Only problem with SSD is in storage wise it can get a bit expensive if your looking for that conventional 500GB to 1TB size. That's why I recommend getting a SSD with a HDD. 

 

Also just remembered, should I get those SSHD hybrids?

I would just getting a SSD and a HDD. Use the SSD for your operating system and you HDD for storage.

Thank you very much for your help! :D
I think this will be my final question. Will the processor be able to fully handle the graphics card?
