Great...will check it out. Is it an EVGA brand? They make 4 versions of this 750Ti and they all seem to be about the same price now. Still looking for good case, and looking into Samsung SSD...EVO or Pro.

I prefer the EVGA brand, yes. Lots of people make a 750Ti though.
For mid tower cases check out the Corsair Obsidian 450D.
Go for the EVO. I'd get at least 250GB.

Great, I looked at the EVGA brand and they make 4 of them. I guess the fastest 750ti they make is the EVGA GTX 750 Ti ACX FTW. Some have said the ACX can be noisy. I believe all 4 of these are about the same price but this one is the fastest.
I will look at the case, as well, and I "MAY" try a 500gb EVO SSD if the price makes sense!

Tes, they do have an ACX FTW, so would that be the way to go? I believe it is actually the EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW w/ EVGA ACX Cooling
Part Number: 02G-P4-3757-KR and I believe Newegg has it for $139. Will look for SSD as well.
I may put this all in PCPart picker to see what I get. I do not have an ID tho.

OH, I did not know you could save anything without an account. OH, Newegg has the card for $149.99 - $10 rebate.

Well, I am building my list and like the Corsair Vengence Pro 2X8 1866 RAM.
One thing I never ran into was the suggestions to mount the CPU and Cooler BEFORE putting the MoBo into the case. I thought that was a no no as it is a lot of weight to add, but, aside from mounting the cooler bracket to the back of the CPU socket, can I then install the MoBo and still have room to mount the CPU and 212 Hyper EVO cooler?

OK, I can see in pcpart picker if anyone else used that RAM and cooler, as I do not know just what the clearance is. I do know that the ASUS Z97 Pro does say to use the A2 and B2 slots first so that would leave room...at the possible expense of making the slot 1 and 3 useless. Also, does the Obsidian 450D have this cutout? The photo's do kind of show that it DOES.

So, here is what I have so far.

Not sure of the HDD but I think I will get a WD Black 2TB.
Power Supply needs to be selected as well. I know 550W would be enough but the 750W EVGA and Corsair are only $10 more. I suppose if I go with the Corsair Case I may as well get their PS...or does that still not matter?
