Is there really a need for a 128gb SSD? Usually people just put Windows and programs needed. And have a sperate drive thats not SSD for other stuff like music and videos, games etc. Just a thought.

Unless you're not planning on overclocking, I would go with the i7 930. It's cheaper and very easy to overclock to the 950's 3.06GHz.

The 850w PSU is a bit much. You should be fine with 650w, unless you plan on expanding later.

This. Go with the 64GB model and grab a 500GB Samsung F3.

You could lower your power supply unless you plan to SLI the 460 in a later date, rather than that it looks like a nice rig.

Get rid of the rampage III, you'll never utilize it

Go with either the asus P6T or the P6X58D-E.

i want to make a couple of changes. and seriously do listen to me!

Don't get that CPU. Get the one in my Sig Rig. Trust me!
Also get the MSI GTX460 Black Hawk. it is Crazy! MSI overclock it to 1Ghz for you! it has Triple Over voltage On the MSI Software!

also get a Different Mobo. the Cheapest Asus one is really good. and half the price!

and Probably Get a Different PSU... there is nothing wrong with it but i would get 1Kw in case you want to make some changes to your rig later on.
