Hello this is what I have so far..

Rosewill Thor v2 full atx case

Biostar T Overclocker TA970XE Socket AM3+ 970 ATX AMD Motherboard

CorsairXMS3 Series 16GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) CL 11 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit (Two 8GB Memory Modules)

OCZ Technology 750 Watt Fatal1ty Series Modular ATX Power Supply

EVGA 02G-P4-2662-KR NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Superclocked 2048MB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card

That's all I'm planning to buy new, but I took apart my older hp to get an LG DVD drive 16x, 1 Seagate 1 TB HDD at 7200 rpm, and 1 Samsung 500 gb HDD at 7200 rpm.

Tell me what you think and thanks!:)
 
Make sure your drives that you're reusing are SATA so that they work with the motherboard. Also the PSU is overkill. Check out a CX600 or a TX650.

Also 16GB is kinda ridiculous amount of RAM unless you're going to be doing Virtual Machines or something else super RAM heavy. If it's gaming or other normal computer tasks it's not necessary. Although as cheap as RAM is anymore it doesn't matter all that much. But just saying it's not needed.

Otherwise looks good. Except you're missing the CPU. You'll need an AMD Bulldozer or Vishera CPU.
