Other thoughts.
There's no good reason to spend that much on a motherboard unless you need all the silly ports for some reason. You probably don't. I wouldn't go over like $140. I prefer Asus, but MSI is ok, Gigabyte or ASRock (which is usually quite a bit cheaper) too. Hell screw SLI/Crossfire support too.
You won't need an 850w powersupply...more like 600?
That case is also up in the $$$ and huge but that's a personal preference thing.

What does PhysX and Tessellation do? I don't know, my friends just chose those boards. Any exact boards you suggest that are great? I'll ask them what the exact benefits are. I just want the option to have SLI/Crossfire if I ever need/want it. Again, the PSU was just to future proof for more GPUs if I get them. I like the case, it's spacious so it gives me a lot of room/options.
