Hmm.... I wouldn't spend so much on the case. Antec 900 is only 60$ at newegg right now. I would get that instead and use the money to get a much better power supply and get the 512MB 8800GT instead of the 256MB. Also do you plan to SLI? If not, you really don't need the 680i board. You could get a more future proof board for half the price. And do you really want the sound card? Many people don't notice a difference between onboard sound and dedicated cards.
 
Hmm ok... I really want to stay with the case but I don't plan to SLi, but i still want an EVGA motherboard, also I honestly dont care about sound but my friend said the game will process differently(faster) with a better sound card, finally im not sure how much difference 512MB and 256MB is...Also about the PSU...which one should i change too? also i still need to add extra ram or something like that
 
Drop that case and get a:
