Just got my new build finished.
Specs:
Windows 7 Professional
Cooler Master HAF 922
Asus P7P55D-E Pro
Intel Core i5-760 Lynnfield
8GB G.SKILL DDR3 PC3 10600
EVGA GTX 570 SC > LG LED E2350V (x2)
X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty> a) PA2V2 > MS-1 .. b) Pioneer VSX-516-K > Insignia NS-B2111 (5.1)/Sony SA-W2500
80GB Intel X25-M SSD/300GB Velociraptor/500GB WD Caviar Blue
Corsair 750HX
Overall I am very very happy. Only ran into two problems: when I first powered on I was getting no picture and no beep codes. I did some research and found the RAM has to be in the blue slots (I had them in the black). Secondly, my primary display was flickering (I run dual montiors) very frequently, however that seems to have (hopefully) fixed itself.
The HAF 922 is a true pleasure to work with. Everything just works very easily with it, and even a monkey could do a decent job with cable management on this case. That's a big change from my old Antec P180b.
This build is awesome. BFBC2, Black Ops, and UT3 are the only games I have played thus far but at highest settings, they're smooth as butter.
UPDATE: Have now played Mafia II and Just Cause 2 which came free with my GTX 570 and these games run at highest settings with no issue either. And we're talking 60+ FPS smooth. Team Fortress 2 is obviously the same. So far I haven't found any game that will slow this computer down!!
