Components Update
After talking with a few OCN members my components have changed. xd_1771 found an incredible deal on a Corsair PSU/RAM combo! No more OCZ PSU for me! 
So here's what I'm looking at and will probably order by the end of the week...well I actually already pulled the trigger on the PSU/RAM combo as I noticed earlier today the PSU price was dropped another $10! Yay Newegg! 
PSU: Corsair HX 650
RAM: Corsair XMS3 4gb (2gb x2) 1600
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-890GPA-UD3H Hopefully I'll get at least a Rev 2.1
CPU: Phenom II X4 955
GPU: MSI R6850 Cyclone PE/OC Radeon HD 6850
HDD: WD 500 Caviar Black
Had to drop down to a x4 from the x6 due to budget and to take advantage of the PSU?RAM combo. This will be fine as my sets in Live are not that crazy. For games it's obviously fine as well. I'm not trying to do anything bleeding edge here. I was recommended a good deal on a 1TB Samsung F3 but that would be a little too large for the OS drive. I have a 750gb samples drive atm and plan on adding a second when needed. Hopefully SSD's will drop in price enough next year so I can move to one of those for the OS.
Will post again when everything arrives.
