Try this one, basically everything is better or the same. Well, except for the name brand acclaim of the power supply, but unless you really intend on stuffing a couple more Radeon 7970's into that, you really don't need that much.

The build he posted is fine, that case has reviewed well, as has the psu. I would step down in size though you don't need 1000watts.

Replace the 7950 with a 7970ghz with the money you're not spend on that psu.

Also the kraken is a waste of money imo. Just buy a phnateks air cooler.

Thanks for all the input guys, i already purchased the case and i am happy with the layout and cooling options, i think i will downgrade the psu a little and upgrade the gpu.
