We cover off a little about the CPU and GPU there.
As to power, with such a high end GPU, try a very large PSU with a single rail +12V unless you are conversant with Amperes and Rails.

So after months of research (note: very bad on reading reviews 10 bad out of 1000 I think what if that happens to me) I would like an all around computer and be able to upgrade. I like to play games watch movies listen to music (over 300 hundred movies on hard drive and 15000 songs) I plan on hooking up to my Yamaha AV receiver and to my Samsung 3D TV. I picked 1st CPU 2ND Motherboard with thought of video card 3RD video card 4th case 5TH sound card (not sure if I even need, kind of afterthought) 6th RAM.
