Alright, this is hopefully my final build. I still want critiques on all the parts, and links or suggestions on better pieces or brand names for pieces.
I will have enough money to buy this machine this Friday, so all I need to do is finish touching up this build and I'll be ready.
I believe the graphics card was measured at 11 and 1/8 inches on a tech video. I've looked at case lengths and I'm not sure where to find the actual length available for the graphics card, just the length of the case overall. I'm not sure if there is a common tech knowledge I don't know about like (case length) - (x inches) = (graphics slot length) but it would be cool if you guys can help me determine if my case will work for the XFX 5870 XXX card.

Concerns/Questions:
-Will my video card fit in my case? (The 5870 was measured at 11 1/8 inches in a tech youtube video).
-Is Seventeam a quality brand? I saw a list of quality PSU's and it said anything greater then 650w is quality from Seventeam and their PSU's that are less than 650w aren't.
