    1. Rosewill Black hawk mid-tower computer cases with 5 120 mm fans
    2. Asus Sabertooth Motherboard.
    3. AMD fx 8350 processor
    4.G.skill 2x4 GB 1600 mhz ddr3 ram
    5. Gigabyte 7870 HD 3 fan gpu card 2 GB
    6. OCZ ZT 750 W fully modular PSU
    7. 500 GB WD blue 7200 rpm HDD
    8. Asus CD/dvd Burner.
    9.Cooler Master 212 + aftermarket cooler.

    That cooler master 212 is a really good CPU fan - unlikely you'll need anything else.

    Those specs look pretty good. Personally I'd go with intel CPU and Nvidia GPU - looks like you are going with AMD and ATI... but thats more of a brand preference.

    I would change the WB Blue to a Black for gaming. The blacks are higher performance - and run hotter, but you have lots of fans so so probs there.

    Looks like it's going to be a good build. Nice rig for the price - I'm green with envy lol.

      I would also recommend you for an Intel CPU, like the i7 or i5 along with a 2x8GB or 4x4GB of RAM. In terms of grapichs, that ATI should do just fine if you don't fancy an nVidia one.
