2x4GB 8GB Corsair Vengeance Black - $40
EVGA GTX 460 SE 1GB DDR5 - $95
Vertex 3 64GB - $60 shipped
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus - $29.99
Total: $480

This is what I suggested earlier. But I think the OP said they did not want to wait on shipping. This is an awesome build and extremely reasonable. Just sayin' Should have jumped on this when they had the chance. I would have if I had the budget.
