Yeah, that build looks good. Here's my case suggestion: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811353026

bork22: How does this look? According to Partpicker, it should all be compatible. Does anyone think it won't be? Does it look like I'd be getting good bang for my buck? And could someone point my to a good case?
All looks compatible. I like my corsair tower...not too big, has a lot of room to hide wires, and for your future expansion it has a nice SSD bay. Or if you want to go a little more expensive there's the slightly more expensive, slightly larger brother

Hmm, that's a tough choice between those three. I guess I'll decide when I actually order the parts. :) Thanks again, all; I'll make sure to tell you guys when I get everything assembled!

Okay, so the GPU went out of stock after Newegg cancelled the order. I've waited a couple weeks to see if it would come back in stock, but it hasn't. Can anyone suggest a site to but the GPU from other than Newegg, so I can get the parts on the way?

Availability of ANY upper-range AMD GPU (as low as the 7850) has been a fucking great disaster thanks to the coin miners. For a long time, they weren't overwhelming the market for 78xx and R9 270 GPUs, but even those have gone into short supply. And if Newegg doesn't have them in stock, it's a near certainty nobody else will, either.

Try this one and see if Newegg has it in stock. Currently $230 less a $30 rebate, so it's only $10 more than the one you will never be able to get: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605

Out of stock too. Any other suggestions?
