So I want to build a gaming PC

I'm using an e-bay seller's site to put together a comp. And this is what I put together so far:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400318524622#ht_7667wt_957

I picked the CPU, the MB, the memory, the video card, the hard drive, & the dvd drive. I need help picking fans, which ones do I need? I need help picking an adequate case and a power supply.

I don't want to spend more than 2,000 USD.
I'm not sure yet what I'm gonna do for an OS.

I want this PC to last a long time, and run the newest games easily.

Also what do you think of my selections for the CPU, MB and video card?

Thanks in advance for all suggestions and critiques.

Have you ever tired to build one yourself? You would get more bang for your buck if you DIY. I could easily put up a build that fits your needs if buying from the U.S.

Is it do to time constricted reason's or don't know how? If it's the "I don't know how", then we can walk you through each step of the process. It'l be fun.

If not;

What GPU did you get? so I can recommend the right PSU.

And for the case, what were you looking to spend?

GeForce GTX 680.

As for the case. I don't need it to be fancy, I'm looking to spend less than 100 on it.
 
Hey thanks for the suggestions.

Does the link I posted work for you? People on another forum say it isn't working for them.
 
Here's the specs for everyone:

Intel i3/i5/i7 CPUs:
Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Quad Core 8000K
Intel i5 / i7 CPU Fans:
Intel Socket 1156/1155 CPU fan
Intel i3/i5/i7 Motherboards:
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77, Onboard Video HDMI -Fire & SLI, DVI & HDMI, SATA3, USB3.0
DDR3 Dual Channel memory:
16GB (2x8GB) PC12800 DDR3 1600 Dual Channel
PCI-Express Video cards:
GeForce GTX 680 4GB PCI EXpress 16X dual head, HDMI
Hard Drives:
1000.0 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM SATA3 6GB/s 64m Cache
DVD Recorders:

A couple of things.

The power supply is absolute junk. You will blow your 680 with that.

Everything else is normal and good, but it is severely overpriced for what it is.

What? He is customizing it. It's not the Logisys 400w. I recommended the Antec Earthwatts 650w.

Any ideas for where I can get a comparable (or better) PC for cheaper?

Oh, I see. You customize it yourself...

Best thing to do is build it yourself, or have a friend/computer shop do it for you. We can help you pick out components, and then you order them and give them to the shop/friend.

I'd love to but I can't (I'm handicap.)

There is a place not to far from me I can look into called Winchester Computers I can try. I don't know how much they charge to build these things.
