That looks like a really cool case.

But I would steer away from the FX CPUs because they're not as good as they would have said. I would go with a good 960T like I have or go the intel route and get an i5 2500k.

I suggest go for intel i5 2500k

The FX-series aren't that great right now, they're not bad performers and you'll be able to game with them just fine but for the money you could definitely do a lot better (you could for the same money get the i5 2500[K] which is pretty much the undisputed king of gaming for the price). But like I said, the performance isn't particularly bad, only the price - if you can live with the feeling that you could've bought something better for the money, it'll still make you happy if you insist on buying AMD.

You might want to consider that the CPU might be severely limiting you a few years on while the i5 might still chug along and get you adequate frames, though. But if you're the type that upgrades every year or so, you'll be alright.
