To start you off, you should check out the 1K build in my siggy. Instead of the 6870, the only Nvidia replacement I can suggest is paying 40-50$ more for a 560 Ti.

I just checked it out, that's a real good build. I'll keep that in mind but would like to see what other people can come up with as well.

.... Dang, CA has it hard. They don't have cheap Samsung F3's or Hyper 212+ so I checked. The 2500K is 20$ more than the US too.
