If you can catch one of these GPUs when it comes it would be a pretty nice build(comes with 2 free games from newegg).

If you want your system now, switch PSU to this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii620bronze

and pick one of these GPUs

EVGA comes with a 5 year warranty, the two others come with better cooling. The Galaxy one comes pre Overclocked.
