G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB
2 x XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5 CFx

Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Green SATA Intellipower - Data

The 7850 would be superior. Your 965 will become a bottleneck at some point but your MB supports the FX line so you have an easy upgrade path. An 8320 and a 7850 would be a nice setup for some time at moderate resolutions.
