So...I'm getting a new custom desktop but i don't know much about motherboards or computer cases.Actually the only things i've chosen are the cpu:i5-680 and vid card:radeon HD 6870 i'm going to use it for playing games like starcraft 2 and assassin's creed 2.Any suggestions for what the motherboard and case should be?
Budget:2000 dollars

I'm going to go ahead and recommend my LAN box rig in the comp. spec. thread until you post an actual budget amount. I have absolutely no idea where you received word for a 5980 (which does not exist... yet), and unless you spawn hundreds of thousands of AI the CPU would have little impact in SC2, overkill for AC2. Another advice is to go with the AMD 68xx series cards for now, as they can be found cheaper than the 58xx whist having considerably better performance over the 5830 and 5850.

TR;DR: post a budget.

For a $2000 budget, you would be looking at something pretty powerful.

And that leaves $400 for other stuff.

Oh my god guys fucking seriously? THE 58XX SERIES IS FASTER THAN THE 6800 SERIES GOD I HATE THIS SECTION.

If you are going with 2000 budget go with SLI'd gtx 460 as the scalability is up to 95% efficient.

Also do not go with intel as that socket is going to be EOL when the new socket comes out within less than a year, I would recommend AMD for future upgrades (make sure it is a 8xx series chipset for compatibility with bulldozer chips), as it will still support AM3. Also the H70 is easily out performed by many higher end air heatsinks (such as the Arctic Cooler 64 Pro)

Also for the HDD get either Western Digital (Black series) or Samsung (F3 series) as they have longer life use time, and are also better in quality in general.

For the PSU go with a maybe 850w Seasonic or Corsair (make sure it is a gold or bronze 80plus one) as a top end system (im talking intel i7 24gb ram and what have you) with two 460's SLI'd draw at most 650w.

Also form your own opinions, do not let people fool you. Do your research.

Also see guide which shows all parts prices and gives you a good estimate of total cost.

Actually only the 5870 is faster than the current 68xx series, and that too will be replaced by the upcoming 69xx series in November. Also, AMD confirmed that with the introduction of Bulldozer there will be a new chipset and socket (AM3+/AM3r2), though it will still have backwards compatibility with the current AM3 socket but losing some features in the process.

1. Why would he get a more expensive gpu that is underperformed by a cheaper gpu. 5870> 6870
2. http://tech.icrontic.com/articles/what-we-know-about-amds-next-generation-processors/

Note the dates between the two articles, lots of stuff happened in the last 3 months.

Getting any of the 58xx cards now would be just plain stupid, seeing how the 69xx is just around the corner along with the GTX 580.

"Advanced Micro Devices said that its next-generation desktop processors code-named Zambezi will use socket AM3+ platforms, which will be backwards compatible with the firm's existing AM3 products"

Straight from the horses mouth, it will be compatible.
