In the future how difficult would it be to put on a new CPU Cooler, a Soundcard, and another 7850?

Sound card is easy, just find a spare slot and plug it in, disable onboard sound in the BIOS, install the drivers.

Replacing the cooler with an aftermarket one is a minor pain in the rear as you'll need to clean off the thermal pad from the CPU. Isopropyl alcohol and a Q-Tip from any pharmacy should do the trick.

Take your time, read the instructions.

Alright thanks! I have the instructions from the parts, PCGamers how to build a gaming PC guide, and NewEgg's own video that they made on how to put it together. I've given myself all weekend to build it so time is not an issue.

Everything but the monitor got here! I'm planning on building tomorrow, and then booting up when the monitor gets here!

Build is complete and fully updated! Thank you guys so much!

Sounds like it'll run like a beast. Also, when you start up, go into BIOS and makes sure your RAM is running at 1600Mhz. When I got my Kingston set, the box said factory defaults were at 1600, but it was actually running much slower, so I changed it.
