Is it at all possible for me to reduce my total cost without loosing much performance or get more performance without spending any more money?

I'm trying to get a nice low cost, high powered PC and I would like to be able to play any game on High Quality or better in 1080p, smoothly.

Also, please let me know if you find that anything is incompatible with any of the other components.

get the gtx 760 gpu its the same price and its better, you could probably fine some cheaper ram for about 50 if you look in the right places, and you dont need that much power on your psu 550w will do if you dont want to add another gpu for the future
sorry i meant the radeon 7850 not the gtx 760

Which GPU should I pick if you don't mind me asking. Just looking at it I'm pretty sure I want to go with the Gigabyte w/ 3x cooling

and hows this for PSU. I am a bit on edge about dropping all the way down to 550W, because I am going to try and over-clock as much as I possible can.

the gigabyte cooler is a good one its very quiet that or the evga one should be good, and if you think that you will have two gpu's in the future go for at least a 700w psu, but the 550w should be good even if you overclock. however if you are still worried about it you can just go with a 600w

Thanks. I'll probably stick with the 700W, because I'll most likely try to figure out CrossFire and everything.
