Would like your feedback or suggestion on what you would change. I am not 100% sure about case or graphics card i am guessing when i am selecting them so if you beleive i have chosen the wrong please feel free to say why and which one would be better thanks.

Also I would like to comp to last me 3 years won't need to run everything at max but i would like atleast some games coming out like DA2 to run at high

I have the cm 690 II case and it is really good (if not the best mid tower case) for its price. If you want a case with the best cooling get the haf-x, its expensive but I think its worth unless you don't have space for a case of that size. Graphics card, I would go for gtx 570 or gtx 580 (personal opinion), but the 6950 is a good option. Also consider a modular power supply ax750w, I made a mistake of not getting one. But its not a must.

Great spec - well balanced and great for gaming. However you don't need to order two DVD Writer drives, as one drive can do everything including copying from disc to disc.

The case is popular, but it's down to your personal taste here. If you like it, and it suits your requirements, go for it.

Also, the HD6970 is a popular high end card, and there's not many card on the market than can beat it. Again, if it's within your budget I would recommend it.
