That's my list so all help would be appreciated. If you have any suggestings that would be great or to make it any better the price is around $1,450.00. THANKS TO ALL THAT HELP!!!! By The way this computer is mostly for gaming and school!

BTW I was wondering if I need a new CPU fan or diffrent one then that
 
That power supply isn't big enough for the 670. You need a power supply (500W min.) with +12 Volt current rating of 30 Amps (or more).
 
First of all, you need a better case to keep all that expensive stuff from burning up. I love my Corsair Carbide 400R but it's $100 - here's 2 highly rated budget cases to look at....http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139011 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133180&Tpk=thermaltake v6 also get at least 2 extra120mm fans for side fans or front fan.
Next, a solid power supply is essential, at least a 650. Here's a cheap one with a lifetime warranty http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3276573&CatId=1483
The motherboard is good, but NewEgg doesn't stock them anymore. Try this link http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=667651&CatId=7246
You'll run cooler (and quieter) with a 120mm CPU fan & heatsink such as the inexpensive and highly rated Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
The WD Caviar Green is a low powered drive which is great for storage (I have 2 X 2TB WD Green drives myself), but the Black series runs at 7200 rpm and is more suited for a primary boot drive. It's more expensive, though, $120 for 1 TB or $200 for 2 TB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136792
You won't need any 80mm fans, as most modern cases are using 120 or 140mm fans, which are quieter & move more air. I have 9 fans in my case, 7 of which are 120mm. You can't have too much airflow.
That being said........
All the above is good stuff but if I had $1500 I'd definitely go with an Intel i5 3570K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504 and an Asus P8Z77-V Pro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131819 just because it's much faster. You may not notice the difference while gaming, but you will with anything else. Those AMD "8 core" CPUs are not 8 true cores, it's more like an i5 with 4 actual cores and hyper threading, they just call it something else. Her's a link that compares all high-end CPUs http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html
Good luck with your build!
 
I would pick up the Antec 300 or the Antec 300 Illusion for a case.
For 1500 id go for the intel, not partial to either one but its probably a little faster.
