The HD5870 is a long card and it's will be cramped with the 1200.
The HAF 932 is a E-ATX case not just standard ATX on the 1200.
And with a such a high res on a such a small screen, you'll be squinting like a 90 year old man.

And for 1500 dollars I'd go with an i7 instead of an i5

with a 1.5k limit you should get the best you can.
Base your build off a i7 920. If you want to OC it you should probably got with a liquid cooling system. Also, id get the biggest PSU possible. I'm not good at choosing parts as I change my mind 5 times over, but these are just some good and obvious ideas.

750 is what id consider huge. But I watched a video on how to OC an i7 and they used a 1k watt psu. I felt that was a little extreme though.

| I think about it like this. He has the money now, why worry about changing the psu for a uber gfx card later? I had a friend who got a new gfx card and he had to buy a 750w psu to replace his 600.

I have no fucking idea, but the man has spent more money on his pc, than his own car.

Get the Xeon W3520
basically the i7 920 with a newer stepping, better OC.

Second.
More importantly, however, is that the Intel uses better silicon for the Xeon W3520 than it does for the i7 920, whose silicon is more random, meaning potentially cooler temps, longer life and higher, more stable overclocks.
