I wouldn't recommend a power cooler branded manufacture card, especially with the power hungry hot running amd gpu. You also forgot to add windows ($90), but i'd take the 1866 ram down to 1600, and throw in a better branded gpu. You'll also need to bump the psu up to about 750w. If OP is planning on buying a quadro later on, I don't think he will want to rebuy another psu later on as well. OP, I would try and get budget up another $100, grab a radeon 290 with a good cooler like xfx, msi, asus, or evga. Since your buying a quadro later on, id go amd route for this first card. That way you'll end up with quaddro and cuda, and gain open cl from amd side. The 290 can be overclocked and runs very close to the 290x.
While I own and am a amd fan. And do believe that the 8320 would be the better chipset. You need major overclock to gain full potential, which would include $200 minimal just for cooling, and a better motherboard. At least with the i5 route, its very comparable to the amd, yet gives you the option to get a i7 later on and still use same motherboard.
