So my pc is pretty old by many standards... I just graduated college and managed to save up $900 dollars cash for a new PC. I've started full time (No kids, no dogs, etc.) So I will probably be able to upgrade in about a year. I'm looking for something that may be upgrade-able in that time frame. I've read Vulp's guide as well as talked to some people and done some research.

So I know I want...
Sapphire Radeon 7870
AMD 8350 or 8320
Have Salvageable Hard drive With OS Disks
Have Salvageable ram (4 2G 1600's)
Have Salvageable ODD
So the Questions is... What do I get for all the other stuff? Power supply, Motherboard, Case, New ram/SSD if affordable, Thermal paste? I get lost in those things. Any help will be appreciated!
