All this is at about $650.
So you've got $350 to spend.

I would say get the 6870 for about $200
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161349&cm_re=6870-_-14-161-349-_-Product

and add in a SSD, helps boot your computer WAY faster.. recommended to be honest.

add $10 and get this;

If your doing a lot of programming you may benefit from the i7-2600k because of the hyper threading.

That build right there is fine...take that thermal compound off your list though seeing how the CM 212+ comes with excellent thermal compound. Also that CM 932 you have in that other post can be had at amazon for cheaper + free shipping, and no tax. But I would skip it seeing how it's the size of a small house. That CM 922 is a large case as it is.

That card down below paired with that psu gives you plenty of juice for over clocking, extra fans, drives, etc....
