Building new PC and would love opinions

[shyka]

Hey guys! So, my video card just died on me and I've decided to just build a whole new machine since my current is pushing 4. I'm not very savvy when it comes to this sort of thing, but after reading a bunch of forums, this is the build I've come up with. However I'm not sure if this is overkill, not enough, or even compatible with each other. I was hoping all the knowledgeable people here could help me :3

*just a note, I don't overclock (or know how, ha!). I'll be using it to play games (WoW, D3, GW2, etc) and run various art programs like Photoshop and Flash.

I don't have a bias towards any brand or anything, and I guess my budget is around 800$. I chose a few of these pieces because they were in bundles, but am more than willing to look at other parts.

But anyhow, here we go! I hope I'm doing this right D:

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115073

MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128502

GPU: EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB (Fermi) 1GB - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130604

PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139028

RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233144

HD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152185

CASE: Antec Lanboy air Blue Black / Blue ATX Mid Tower - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811129093

I already have a mid tower case from about 4 years ago, are they generally compatible throughout the years? I'd prefer to not buy one if I don't have to. I tried finding it on Newegg but it looks like it's not sold anymore.

So, yeah. I would really love any suggestions, opinions, or whatever you guys can throw at me! I'd like to order the parts soon. Having no desktop is a drag for sure. Cheers!

only problem with a 4 year old case, is it's airflow might not be as good as todays cases, the case you've chosen is epic for airflow. I see no problems with your build for what you want it for, but if you ever do get into overclocking, should have got the i5 2500k.

You could switch the gpu to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127594 and have enough left over to upgrade your chip to the 2500k.

Definitely do both of these changes. Non-K version of the processor cant be overclocked, and the MSI Twin Frozr II card has superior cooler (less noise and heat).

Old case should work totally fine. Biggest problem might come from graphics card being too long but you can see it in a minute after pulling the card out of the box before starting the rebuild.

Well, I did see you chose the lanboy as a new case if you will buy one...

I suggest taking a look into Fractal Design cases such as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811352004
