Mostly play RPG/MMORPG games with some strategy like Total Empire games mixed in.  The current mmo I play will probably be on the SSD. Although the SSD won't help in actual FPS, the load times in rpg's should be reduced dramatically?

Don't know the difference, just heard the HAF was pretty good on various forums.

Forgot to add, I only use a 24 inch monitor, not sure exactly what resolution I'd play at on a new comp.

The difference between the Haf and the Storm Sniper is size. Haf is a full tower and the Sniper is a Mid. I don't believe the Storm Sniper can accommodate E-ATX sized Mobos.

The Haf is also more LC friendly. As far as stock air cooling though they are both pretty much the same. If you're not going LC or need the extra room for a larger MoBo, I personally prefer the Sniper. It has On/off LED switch, built in fan controller and dust filters. You can't go wrong with either case, so it's a matter of preference.

Well the HAF 922 that he has selected is actually a mid size case. The HAF 932 is a full size. The Storm Sniper is listed as a mid size, but from the dimensions and specs it looks to be about the same size as the full size HAF 932. The Sniper is nice because it comes with 3 Blue LED 200mm fans and a fan controller/LED switch. It also comes equipped with dust filters already which the HAF 922 & 932 don't. I own the HAF 932 case and it is a wonderful case, tons of airflow. Just have to clean it out regularly and keep your room dust free. They also make special made filters you can order for the HAF. The next computer I'm having built will have the Sniper case though. They're both good cases, and both have great airflow. The HAF X is something else to look at too, although it is a bit more expensive than the other cases. It comes with air filters and is huge, with lots of additions.

Almost ready to order, however I'm worried about the powersupply.  Is that enough for what I have?  I don't ever plan on adding a 2nd 480.

You are darn near perfect. I recommend the Corsair 750, but that's your choice. All the power you need.
 
The Sniper's dust filters are reeealy fine metal mesh built in to the surfaces open to the air. I love my case.
 
Congrats, Riley!  Cool
