Good choice on going with the QPack II over the original QPack (which I used a few years ago). It's a little bit longer, so you don't have to worry so much about choosing a regular size PSU and a shorter optical drive. Still, I would go with the shorter optical drive (170mm vs. 190mm) just because it will give you a little more play in the case.

Maybe consider replacing the back fan of the QPack as well with something variable in speed or that can be controlled by the motherboard, a power line on the PSU, or a fan controller. I always found the constant speed fan to be a little annoying as it never needed to be always spinning that fast.

Be careful with the video card length and height. Little things sticking above the video card can get in the way of the PSU, especially if it has a downward facing fan; length - it may be too long, idk.

Also on the PSU front, depending on how the fan grill is put it can affect how it sits on the rail running through the case. I originally bought an Antec PSU with a full size bottom facing fan, but it wouldn't mount properly because the fan grill was hitting that bar. Instead went with an Enermax Noisetaker, which I believe used an 80mm fan in the bottom, so that it's fan grill never went near the support rail.

Also, your PSU is way too much for your build. Go with a 500W should be more than enough and it will save you some on your power bill and total computer budget.

little confused, do you already have an APEVIA case?
if not, what about http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811146044 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811146046 these cases are solid and offer good airflow.

also, just personal preference but i would never buy a lcd from newegg. they have horrible rma on them. i think a minimum of 8 dead pixels before they will accept it back

Yes I Already Have The Case In The First Post I Got It Cheap
But I Think I Want The NZXT ROGUE Case You Listed

I'm on my second QPack style case (I should've learned after the first one ) - I've had to do a good deal of modifying with my current one (an Aplus Blockbuster, same kind of design) to get things to fit. You need to be very careful at what will fit, since the back of the case slides out as a motherboard tray, and anything that would stick up can block it from going back in. Then you have to go into a world of cutting/bending the case to get things to fit, not to mention taking out the power supply to do it, since it sits above the cards.

You have to be careful with CPU and graphics card coolers due to this. It can be very fiddly getting things assembled otherwise. My case has had all kinds of hacksaw action before I got it all together. That said, the gfx card you've selected looks like it'll go in easy

if you are looking to save a little, maybe consider an x3. i hear those overclock pretty well. looks like in the anandtech review they were able to hit 3.813GHz http://www.anandtech.com/cpuch...owdoc.aspx?i=3512&p=11
