I'll be going through with building a new PC within the next few days. I got help from someone else in upgrading a previous build I did:

What do you fellas think?

Actually, I'm sticking with this build:

About $40 cheaper and probably not much difference in performance. I *may* consider the R9 270x instead of the HD 7850, but I'm not sure.

Is it an issue to have an ATX tower and Micro ATX motherboard? I have no idea on this stuff. Is everything compatible?

Typically the "ATX" holes are all the same, but the Micro board is smaller so instead of lining up 12 holes you'll only line up 8. BUT, a micro mobo means there's much less room for expansion in the future.. ahem well.. unless you really dont ever intend to run dual gpu's to get that slick 3 monitor effect for in game ;)
