Hello, below is my new updated build thanks to everyone whose been so helpful here. Please give me any last thoughts/changes I should consider. This is my first build so I don't know much. The rig is mainly going to be used as a graphic workstation and gaming. I've never overclocked before, but it's something I'd like to try if it'll better the performance of this build. The total comes to $670 including tax + shipping. I'd really like to get this down if at all possible to around $600. If anyone has any suggestions, that'd be great. I'd also consider switching to AMD if that'll make it cheaper. Here's the build. Thanks again for all the help thus far...
and if you go with an amd 720 BE with a mobo which has a 790GX chipset you could save about $60 while getting better performance in apps which can use the extra core and being equal or better in other apps.
