On the intel build. I would move up to the Pro series 840 TLC isn't a strong flash over time the MLC flash of the 840 Pro will prove to have longer lasting performance over time.

Also, unless you have specific audio needs I would stick to your onboard audio. Reason being is unless you are using anything with a s/pdif connnection or RCA then it would make sense otherwise the onboard has enough.

Also you can save a bit on the PSU. XFX makes seasonic OEM based PSU's.

I also don't have an issue with the keyboard although I personally prefer a mechanical keyboard. But I also understand they are normally a bit more expensive I got my 710+ plus on sale for around 100 dollars...

Is the Ti really worth it, for the extra $90?

Sorry, missed the part where you are doing audio rendering. Unfortunately, I have no clue about sound cards. I'm assuming you care a lot about sound quality so a sound card is a good idea.

Also, sorry, I was thinking backwards. The GTX 660 is better in terms of performance/dollar. You're right. :)

In terms of memory I'd say you are fine you can always in the future purchase more I'd say 16 would be a good spot for you. And beyond 16 you would need pro of ultimate of windows 7 assuming that is what you have.

AMD build

I would say the same sorts of things I see you went with the 660ti which is a stronger card however I still feel the intel build is stronger. And in terms of cases that is a personal choice on your part I would get the fractal design define r4 because I feel like you get a lot of premium case design for a fraction of the price plus it looks really classy and clean but again I'm not you :)
