Hey can you guys check out my build? My budget is ~$700. I plan on playing sc2 and using revit/3dsmax. I have a 23" acer led monitor.

sc2 is a major cpu hog. it will run well even on mid/low gpu but its a cpu killer.

i recommand 2500k as well. and although case is one thing you can skimp on, the antec 300 (v2 is better) is a really solid case.
 
another vote for the 2500K or at least a 2400 to save a few bucks. Phenom II X4 gets completely wrecked by Intel's new line. If you really must have AMD, wait for Bulldozer to release soon.
