Over budget and for a little more you could get a GTX760 if you like. The poster above missed out a few items aswell.

I prefer to buy it myself. In any case OP said he wanted it included in the price, if he decides to illegally obtain it like a ruffian then he can whack a 760 in my build as the PSU will support it.

From what i see on benchmarks they perform kind of the same with each pulling ahead in certain tasks. I think it comes down to which is cheaper. Radeon uses OpenCL and GeForce has PhysX if that interests you.

The cards will fit as the HAF912 has a removable drive caddy inside.

The processor will come with the stock cooler in the box, if you wanted to overclock then yes you'd need a better one.

I currently use a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO on my rig which does a good job, but in the states the Hyper 212 Plus is cheaper and is almost identical.
