I am Curious about the RAM because it seems awfully cheap for 8 gigs. I am open to suggestions and ways to save money. I may also want to use SLI or Crossfire in the future and I will be overclocking.

Corsair and XFX psu's are both manufactured by Seasonic....so you can save a few $ with this psu down below. The only difference is the name on it...virtually the same psu as that Corsair you have yet it's a few dollars cheaper. Also I don't see an after market cpu h/s on your list up there....

OK thanks, I meant to ask about the h/s, I was also considering starting on the stock and then upgrading later. What coolers would you suggest? and is there anything else I might want?

btw, are there any other suggestions for gpu's I dont want to spend more than $300.

The GTX 560 Ti or 6950 is the best you can get for <$300 (without rebates) the next step up would be 2x GTX 460's in SLI (about $320) or a GTX 570.

The hyper 212+ is probably your best option. It's only $30, and is an excellent cooler. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B002G1YPH0/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&qid=1309809878&sr=8-1&condition=new
