Yea I get mixed review about the case, some love it while some hate it =p I do have other cases that I like but this case won out overall in terms of cooling ability/space/value as it currently is the top case out for natural air cooling.
You're also right about 8 Cores; I don't see that being useful for at least another 3-4 years when Software Devs finally catch up and start recoding their crap to be more efficient =[

Primarily gaming but want it to last 2-3 years at least; want it close to top-end.

My current laptop is i7-Q230M and it works wonders, my friends also own a few i7's and I have not really noticed any issues as of yet. For a while now, I do not know anyone IRL who owns an AMD (although I am more of an AMD fan but I like to get whatever is top at that point in time =p). No present, I will be broke ;D
Also why would you choose the Corsair Vengeance series RAM? Dominator is their high-end/flagship line. Dominator GTX > Dominator GT > Vengeance.

I've decided to go with the Antec Kuhler 620 series because of all the forum posts/reviews I have read through googling about it. 620/H60 are almost the same items built by the same company except the tubing in Antec is apprently more flexible; people tend to recommend it over the H60 model. H80/Kuhler 920 cost about roughly the same and I do not think I need something of that much performance as of yet =p (620 saves me about $50)
Added a Samsung SSD to the list and changed PSUs and decided to go with Corsair AX850 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139015&Tpk=AX850) =p Amazon has it on sale for $175 + free shipping with Amazon Prime. Full modular + Gold rating means I'll earn back the money in 2 years =p
