I am planning to use this mostly for gaming and will hopefully have enough money for the core components by the end of November, but will buy some before if the price drops and money permits.
This is the build I am planning:

I am sure on the CPU and fairly sure on the case, but would like input/alternatives for the other components. I already have a copy of windows 8 64-bit. I am also planning on using a 960 instead if it is released at a about $250. The RAM needs to be two sticks to allow the possibility of upgrading to 16GB later. The hard drive should be non-SSD and be at least 1TB. I would prefer a modular/ semi-modular power supply with at least 600W to allow for later SLI.
I am also looking for tips from people who have put together similar builds.
