Well from right here i dont see any problems except you probably can go cheaper on ram and you be able to max or high settins on them games

I would but that's the cheapest RAM at micro center. There may be cheaper RAM when I go there but not on their website.

what micro center you near the one in chicago cause they have better deals in the store then online and tiger direct right down the street

I live over by the one in overland park. Pretty much the only place around to buy parts unless Best Buy finally has reasonably priced parts. I have Amazon prime but I pretty much want to get this rig up and running asap. I'm building a PC for a friend BTW. So I need to get the money in the morning and everything installed and a few games ready to go by the afternoon.

Don't forget you get like $40 off motherboard when you buy that CPU. When you go there, keep an eye out for any open box items. Managed to get a Coolermaster TX3 for like $10 once and last year picked up an HD 7870 for someone for the same price as a new HD 7850. It is a shame you didn't do this last week when the FX 8320 was $100.

Actually that list is including the $40 off the mobo. It was $680 without combo discount.

I would say your list looks pretty good. Just keep an eye out for any in store specials while you are there.
