if your going cheap 6850 or 6870 give best bang for a buck or if you can find a 6950 2 gig for under 200 usd equivalent. out side of that the 7xxx series is in for a big series of price fluxes with 7950 and 7970 being dropped in price to make room for the new version of each which AMD is saying will not replace the non ghz edition should drive prices of the others all down which might make the 7850 under 200 and a steal
the cpu will hurt your gaming a bit. id try and go with an i5 if you can swing it. if not a fx 4170 and oc it
ram is dirt cheap right now 4-8 gb 1600 or better ddr3
case, what ever suits your fancy i have 3 at home a corsair 550d,a silverstone Temjin TJ08-E, and on the cheaper end an antec 300 illusion.
power supplies seasonic, or corsair (seasonic makes most of theirs ) and modular is a must it makes things so much easier
after market cpu coolers: coolermaster hyper 212+ with a second fan rocks
and an SSD boot drive either 128gb or 256 i would recommend having used both either a samsung 830 or crucial m4
