my questions are :)
1. what case would you recommend? preferably with loads of fans, fractal? zalman? not too big aswell, midi then right?
2. can my psu withstand both the CPU and GPU at max load? or should i look further on getting a new one?
Thank You for your time :)

CASE lol sorry :D ill change that, but yeah out of zalman and fractal, should i consider any other?
thanks for the reply
Fractal Define R4, NZXT H440, Corsair Obsidian 450D. All great mid tower cases
For a case I like Fractal Design. For a power supply look at Seasonic they are my personal favorite.
Fractal Design Define R4 is a good case and it's pretty frickin' silent too, NZXT tempest 410 also has lots of fan options. The PSU can handle both no problem. but if you want you can get XFX psu's.They have really seasonic parts and really good japanese capacitors.

one more question, as you can see i have the MSI GTX780 lightning
will that fit in the fractal Define R4 or the ARC Midi R2 ?
its VERY long, so thusly my question :D
you can remove both HDD cages from both cases, if it can't fit with them in place :)
Though I think it should fit with the cages in.

awesome, im gonna go with the fractal arc midi r2
ill let you know how it went :D
I used to be a big zalman fan, but their cases suck. They build up dust faster than a vacuum cleaner.
If you want lots of fans, then I would go for the midi, or core 3000 even. Corsair makes awesome cases for people who like LOTS of fans too.
I don't know if you already paid, but I would look for an i5-4670k over the 8350.
Here is what your build is so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3KnrC - $1430
Here is an alternative build with more power for the same price: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3KnDe
This system is cheaper and a bit more powerful. And it has a smaller form factor because you said you didnt want it to be too big.
