It's time to stop asking a bunch of silly questions all over this awesome forum and start a build log. I must throw out a big thank you to two cables and psyclum for all their help to this point. I think, at this point, I know where this is going. What I'm starting out with is this:
MOBO: MSI X79A-GD45
CPU: I7-3930K
Memory: 32 gig DDr3 1600
GPU's: Not sure yet. Either 1 or 2 GTX760's. I have 2 of them. I also have a GTX650ti. I don't think I'll be using that though.
Storage: 500g WD HDD for now.
PSU: Came with the donor stuff. I'll try to find specs once I dig it out of the donor.
Things that I just ordered:
Sony DVD-RW - nothing special, but I needed it to re-image the HDD's., and wires to plug it in:

Case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TE33YXO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm replacing the fans because they don't fit my color scheme.

Lighting: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JTF2TAG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Parts should start trickling in over the next few days. I plan on also doing some painting, but won't know exactly what until I get the case in hand. This PC will primarily be used by my son for gaming and homework. Right now, Minecraft is the big thing in his life, but you know how quickly kids change their minds. The goal is to build something on the cheap, but has some room to upgrade in the future. I know this isn't a huge build compared to some of the crazy stuff on here, but it will be fun nonetheless. So far, I have $64 into this build! Pics will come as I progress.
