Like I said, any comments or concerns would be greatly appreciated. Also, about the power supply: I chose Corsair because I have heard a lot of good things about the brand. If anyone can suggest a cheaper yet reputable PSU as a revision to my current selection, please do so. My budget is right there at the $800 mark, and the CPU/Mobo is a package deal and I am pretty set on keeping those two.
I also plan to upgrade a few things later down the line. In a few weeks after purchasing these parts I will be adding a second HDD to join the first one in a RAID-0 setup. I will also want to put a SSD in as a boot drive.
Farther down the line I want to seat a second GTX460 in there for SLI.

Thanks in advance!

Too expensive at the moment. I might sell the 460 down the road when I have more $ and will purchase 2 560ti's.

Better yet, get the 460 for now, down the road get a 570 and use the 460 for physx and 3rd monitor.... thats what I would do.

Very nice first build.... keep us posted and feel free to get help, I did..

Thank you, MoCo Man.
I'm going to put the order in either tomorrow or Monday, just waiting on a check to clear the bank.
