$290 for a GTX660Ti? That's way too much money as we've seen GTX670s drop to $290. For example, why get the card you linked when you can get a GTX660Ti MSI for $240?

I really don't like that case in terms of looks or price. I don't see what makes that case so special for $160. It's not classy looking, isn't made of aluminum and isn't from a high-end case company that makes high quality cases for this price.

I'd either save some $ here and get an Antec 300 for $50:

Or CM 690 II for $80 after coupon:

Or even Corsair 400R for $100:

Or Corsair 600T for $100 today if you order just the case for now with $30 off coupon:

Then you can take the savings from the case and either save that $ or step up to the i7 3770K, or get an SSD. The cheaper 660Ti card is $50 less and the savings from the case alone are enough to step up to the 3770K.

Or if you are willing to spend $160 on a case, I would personally go for a more classy looking case like this:

or even this if you want a little more design:

Obviously design is a personal preference and it will change over time as you age. If you like the way that case looks, sure go for it. I don't feel it looks like a $160 case.

Think about it this way - you expanded your budget from $850 to $1100 but no performance was added from the parts we recommended because you sunk more into the the case, the GPU and PSU but none of those components increased performance. $100 for that 750 W PC Power& Cooling is way too expensive. I've seen that PSU for $60-70 many times.

Save more $ and get the Corsair 650W for $60:
