EDIT:

Final build list. Now I need opinions. If this was your $1000.00. Would you be happy with this, or is there room for improvement.
Will be OC-ing in near future. And to be honest, not 100% sold on case or PSU so any comments are welcome about those too.

do you want to Overclock it? If you do then have a look at the Coolers around the $40+ area.

for a graphics card, I'd look at the 4890.

oh and, do you have a microcenter near you? because I could get you a better CPU for less than $15 more if you do.

I defiantly plan to OC it. I may not do that right off the bat. I am also open to the idea of crossfire *either right away, or down the line*

And sadly no, I just checked, I had never heard of microcenter before. I live in FL and apparently they haven't gotten here yet. What was the other proc. you would recomend any ways. If its not to terribly much more, and the performance gain is worth it... I can defiantly think it over.
