Yeah, better than mine
The 7970 is the card to have atm, really fast speeds at a really good price. The processor is overclockable, and you should see some good overclocks with the h80i cooler.
Case is a bargain imo, got plenty of space and everything you need. Put the operating system and programs on the SSD for faster boot/shutdown times, and store everything else on the 2tb drive.
If you decide to get it all, get it very soon because a few of the items are on 'this week only' sales. If you need any help in building, put a thread up in here and you will get all the advice you need.
