After posting a thread on my preliminary parts list here, I have taken some advice that the OCN community gave me and here's my revised list. Please let me know your thoughts and concerns!

Subtotal: $876.91
CPU/Mobo Combo Discount: $856.91

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!
