Thoughts on $1,000 gaming build is appreciated

Just wondering on your thoughts on this build. Planning to buy it soon. The costs are stated with calculated rebates. Most of the stuff comes from Newegg.com, others are from Fry's sales.

Any comments, suggestions, incompatibilities, and corrections are very much appreciated. Thank you.

It looks ok , just check the RAM is 1.5 volt or less .

Not a very good gaming rig for the $ tho .
