What?

I put that in as an extreme budget option

The ASrock one I found has almost everything that I want for features, but I'll go look at all the motherboards again, also I'm trying to keep everything $1000 and under (not including extras)
6
The OS i put in the extras is 7 pro. Even then, I think I can get a free copy of 7 ult from my university.

The price difference is minimal so I'll throw that in the list. Never had any problem with Seagate or WD though.
8
The HX650 is 650W. I'm not sure that's enough power. I'm trying to make my build as open to upgrades as possible.

Everyone loves the Hyper 212+, everyone has been OCing well with the Hyper212+ as I've been reading. Even then, I don't plan on doing any extremely heavy OCing, just probably gonna bump it up a tiny bit.

It should, but too expensive
11 and onward
The extras section are extras, I don't really need an opinion on those items just yet, since they're just add-ons or other things that I might need.
Keyboard- Coming from a laptop I already have a mouse but no keyboard. Seeing that I love my deathadder I was thinking I'd go for another razer product. Though really I just need any wired keyboard with media buttons so I can switch songs while playing a game or something
Monitor- If my parents don't have an extra one lying around, I'll have to get one. Haven't really shopped around for any yet. I would love to get a 16:10 screen since those are mathematically more beautiful than these ugly 16:9's (golden ratio, anyone?), but they are too expensive.
SSD- This is a very very low priority for me. I don't need fast boot times and I'll gladly trade that away for not having to fight with my Program Files folder.
Talk more on HS dae, the chatbox misses you :(
