Here's the build I'm in the process of buying:

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Landru/saved/RMR48d

I was wondering if anybody has any last minute changes they'd like to recommend. I'm willing to go up to $1600 if it will give me improvements. Nothing is set in stone, I'm open to any changes (except, of course, the two items I already purchased). Also, I included the extra fan to use as a front intake and hopefully create a slight positive pressure (3 60cfm in and 1 60cfm out along with 90cfm radiator) to keep dust from rushing into the unfiltered the side panel holes. Thanks in advance for any advice.

yep, the build is very nice....i wouldnt recommend going with a seagate hdd....they tend to have the highest failure rates, go with Western Digital Caviar blue (or any other Caviar as a matter of fact), also EVGA superclocked ACX cards are the best when it comes to nvidia gpus http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-03gp42784kr
EDIT: also what the above post mentions about the ram voltages, this one is good (similar colour scheme) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f317000cl11d8gbxl ...although to be honest you dont really need high speed ram, as long as its 1600mhz with a CAS of 10 or below, the difference in fps will be minimal

I can always undervolt it if the cpu has a problem. But I think that XMP profiles allow for 1.65V, so I don't think that will be an issue.

Everything is just great that GPU is very good don't worry
and after searching for sometime i myself went with the seagate over the WD its just great
Get the ADATA XPG V2 8GB 1866 RAM as it looks good and has a wonderful heatsink if you wanna overclock too

Yeah, I'll probably just buy the cheapest 2tb hard drive I can find by a reputable brand and call it a day. I like the GPU a lot; it's the only thing that's gotten to my house so far and it looks like a hot rod :). I think I'll probably stick with the same ram, because everything in my case is red and black, and it would drive me crazy to have yellow heatsinks.

Ahh, I didn't see that. But it's about the same price as the gskill and not as fast.

I know it doesn't matter much, but cas 10 at 2400mhz for $85, and in a good color scheme, is just too good to pass up.
