Don't get a green. Seagate Burrucada is best for now. Latter when HDD prices drop Spin Point and WD Black are good.

this is $50 more then yours, but way better http://pcpartpicker.com/p/5Gi8 the graphics card will nearly match a 570 with overclocking, and it has the cooler to do it on, case was insanely overkill, same for power supply, if you want to bring this into budget get a 560TI without the 448 core, preferably the Twin Frozr one from MSI, best cooler on a graphics card in my opinion

It seems that half the time people say to stay away from Seagate because they malfunction a lot. And the other half, people tell me to go with Seagate.

I own one. It's good.

Seagates are very good drives. Unless you care a lot about airflow, get a Cooler Master HAF 912 for the case, it's cheaper and will leave room in your budget for some better stuff.
I've heard It's really tough to fit a 6870 in a mid tower case.
not really, it isn't much bigger then a 6850 and i can fit it fine in a coolermaster 430, a HAF 912 can swallow a 7970 without trouble, a 6870 would fit without trouble
Why? He doesn't have a k edition and the stock can go to 3.8 ghz fine

Well, the hyper 212 plus pretty much beats all coolers in its category, but since you arent overclocking theres no point in getting it. Just stick with your stock.
Okay, so now that I have a pretty "powered-up" build, I have three questions.
How much RPM should my CPU cooler have? (suggestions for cooler)
Doesn't really matter, just get a cheap/efficient one, like a hyper 212 plus. Though you don't really even need something like that(20ish bucks) for just noise reduction.
Oh where do I even start.. why don't you give us a top end price instead of suddenly adding 200-300 bucks to your build when someone "trusted" decides it isn't expensive enough.
Is everything compatible/ do I really need a full tower?
Very few people need or even want a full tower, they're much heavier and a lot bigger.
If I'm coming off as rude, no offense, just don't get people's logic sometime. You can't call someone a trusted nerd and compare one build to another when they significantly raise the price of the build and pick pretty lame parts for it, I'll make adjustments when I get a budget.
Get an i5 2500.
Get a 7200RPM drive. [reuse your hard drive if you can]
Get a better Graphics card.
The full tower is just useless unless you want to have a big case sitting beside you or you're just too lazy to do any cable management.
Change your PSU. CoolerMaster's PSU is not that good.

Also, don't get cooler master power supplies. Do not get it. Get a good one from Antec. You don't want your power supply to fail.
Get a cheaper case.
Your build is great, but you can save more money with the things I said.

Then, yesterday, a pretty trusted computer "nerd" looked at it and gave some advice. (I'm not saying anyone's advice here sucks)

Do you have any suggestions on my build?

Old build (Not really important)
New build
Budget for cooler: Around $30
Thank you!

Do you recommend another cooler than?

Its quieter. Why I got my hyper 101 instead of amds stock cooler.

Right.
While I'm at it, why did our build suggestion suddenly become bad when someone else gave him a build that was significantly more money?
No sounds like his advice is, needs moar money, let me make a really bad version of moar money for you.

There. I save $30 for you. + It's a much better build that your "new" one.
Might as well use that $30 and chuck in a 1TB Seagate HDD.
Also, don't get cooler master power supplies. Do not get it. Get a good one from Antec. You don't want your power supply to fail.
