OMG KITTY NOMNOMNONMONM

Ahem. For the video card, I'd recommend going with the Sapphire Toxic Edition 5850. It gets about 5-10 fps less than the 1GB 5870 but then they're both high performance cards anyway. If you're dead set on high settings in your vidya, go ahead with your GPU choice otherwise save about $80. Because it beats it in other areas as well such as heat and power consumption which is good in itself but is especially great if you ever decide to overclock it (do it faggot).

Since your case will be the 1200, one of the few cases the CP-1000 is compatible with, I would recommend that instead. It's a unique form factor proprietary to Antec which means they can put two PCBs (!) instead of one, leaving room for more/larger components and more airflow. This switch will save you about sixty-five dollars if you use their combo deal to order the 1200 and CP-1000.

Just to note: there's no way your system will pull 1000W. That's fine. It'll probably pull 400-500W under full load which is ideal because your power supply is most efficient at around half load.

Get an aftermarket CPU cooler even if you don't plan to overclock it. This one's good and cheap. But mostly good. Get some thermal compound too (goes between your component and heatsink when you're mounting it; in this case between your 965 and Hyper 212+). To apply it, put your CPU in the socket, put a pea sized amount of compound in the middle, then mount your heatsink.

Oh god, I'm freaking out over here!

so I bought a 1TB hard drive from amazon.com and I just received it in the mail. I'm going to buy the cp-1000 psu next week but I can't tell if I'm going to be able to plug in my hard drive to it or if I'm going to need an adaptor.

Unless your computer has 6 other SATA devices to power you're good to go. :P

PS. I just got the exact same hard drive, and it's awesome so far. Hard drive bros~
