No problem. Great choice.

RAM: G.SKILL PIS Series 4GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231322

That RAM is useless if you don't intend to overclock. A 6 GB kit will be much more sensible.

G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB)

No problems there. Like the gpu & HDD.

PSU: KINGWIN Lazer LZ-1000 1000W Modular

1000W is overkill. Even if you add a 3rd 460, 850W will be all you need.
Corsair 850TX

If you don't plan on getting a third 460, even 750W would be more than enough.
Corsair 750TX

CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-750HX (modular)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010

You could get much better cases than that for the price, like Antec 300

Cool thanks ksampanna the only concern I have is the RAM

Is the DDR3 1600 compatible with that motherboard? I just didn't see it on the specs

 

[Silvune]

Aslong as the RAM runs slower than the maximum speed specified in the motherboard's specs, then it'll run and you won't have 'wasted' money. However you probably will have to go into the BIOS to set it up correctly (at the settings you paid for) which is really simple to do.

There are a ton of PSUs choices available that are just as high quality as the ones ksampanna suggest which will also be at least a bit cheaper.

Oh alright that's great that's what I was worried about I just wanted it to work haha

So is the configuration good? or can I improve it a little more?
