asus p8z68 - pro lga 1155 intel motherboard
asus gtx560 fermi overclocked video card x2 (sli)
western digital black caviar hdd 2tb

computers tend to power on a little more reliably when they have RAM in them. (Sorry, not being condescending, just a smartass)

Other than that, do you have a case/power supply picked out?

How about an optical drive (CD/DVD/BD)

regarding the case, i was thinking maybe a coolermaster haf x? and i was looking for an 80 plus certified power supply and probably just a basic blu ray writer optical
