Just wanted to see what you guys think, and how this will do for my needs. I can throw a bit more $$ which I may just end up getting a SSD, any recommendations? Thanks for any input.

Overall, looks like a pretty solid build. Just a few things I want to mention though:

1. Go ahead and go with this combo for the cpu + mobo. You save $20 and you get a free game.

2. If you are going to get an SSD, my advice would be to wait (as long as reinstalling windows isn't too big of a deal). Relatively soon, the next generation of solid state drives will be coming out and they will be much better than the current ones.

3. I would personally go for the SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare DriveI don't really see any noticeable difference between this hard drive and the one you linked except for the cache size which really doesn't affect performance much at all.

Edit: Also, just saw this combo for the OS + the PSU. It's only saving $5 but money is money right?

+1 on all of the above suggestions.

@ the OP. With the money saved on those combo's I would give yourself a bit more headroom in case you decide to add another card and o/c along with adding more drives in the future.

This psu down below is an 850w and it's modular.

And then combo this h/d with the o/s.
