You could save some money on the psu, you only need a good 500-600w. The V8 is also very expensive, there's cheaper heatsink fans out there that are better and cheaper. Try the coolermaster hyper 212+ for $30.

I would recommend using the psu and heatsink savings to with at least a 5770 video card.

cool . thanks for your help, let me ask you , why would you need a modulating psu? So all i need is 500-600w? Ok i wasnt sure, i guess 850w is overkill for my 1st build?

Yes, 850w will run 2 and even possibly 3 GPU's. Id suggest getting a good 650 watt with a 5770, then Crossfire down the road.
