The Iconic First

Hey guys got another first time build here. So I've been lurking here for the better half of this past summer and I think I've finally managed to put together a build that's both close to my budget($750-850) and capable of the gaming I'll ultimately want it for.
Let me know what you think of what I have so far and if you have suggestions/recommendations. Thanks!

I have yet to pick out a case, wifi card, dvd, or HDD so any recommendations on those would be awesome.

Motherboard will be fine as long as you have access to a Mac to create the Mavericks UniBeast installer then you should be fin. If you needed to use the Snow Leopard/iBoot way of updating then your ethernet is not supported by Snow Leopard which will give you further problems getting mavericks from the App store.

All of the above will work fine

There is no support for the GTX750Ti in OSX yet. If we see the new Macs November/December then I would expect to then have support for GTX 750Ti.

All DVD drives will work, although the Asus prevents sleep. Sony, Samsung SH-224(very quiet) and Lite-On iHAS 124 all work fine.

I like the Fractal Design Define R4 Silent - but any ATX case that you like should work just fine.
