Nice build, except the RAM, for gaming you wont need more than 4, but if you're itching for a 8GB kit, get these ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311 ) and save $30, you also will get a free slots just in case youd want to expand to 16GB.

Also, heres a free $3 in your pocket for essentially the same ODD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118040

Youre missing a PSU though.

I had just bought a new power supply for my old computer so just going to stick with this one which should be enough for the new build.

With that PSU, don't expect to crossfire without an upgrade, I wont trust it even with one 6870 if you plan to OC, as its not a great PSU, in fact not even a good one.

Anything from the following would be nice:

Thanks for the input Timop!

I decided to switch the RAM to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231275 and go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371026 for a new PSU
