Sorry for so many threads, but here is what I decided for my build:
-CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k ($180)
-Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 (waiting for it to go on sale for) ($100-110)
-Memory/RAM: Patriot 1600MHz 16GB RAM (might bring it down to 8 or 12 need opinions; I could also get it for cheaper if I wait a little) ($60)
-GPU: Radeon HD 6870 ($150)
-Case: Cooler Master HAF 922M ($80)
-PSU: OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W (I know this isn't that good of one, but I'm on a budget here 
) ($50)
-Hard Drive: Some 7200 RPM 1TB ($60)
-Cooler: COOLER MASTER V8 RR-UV8-XBU1-GP ($35)
-Total: $715 - $725
Please post what you think...

Hopefully I'll be able to upgrade as needed.
I'm going to start up as those specs than change it as needed.
Okay, one last question:
Should I downgrade to 8GB RAM? If so, what kind?
You guys have been a great help 
!

I wouldn't bother with downgrading the ram.
First the clock speed on ddr3 ram is pretty good and prices are fairly cheap, you are only going to save about about $15 per 4 gigs of ram, you go down, and you want at least 8G. In the next couple of years before your processor is outmoded you will likely see the increase in ram needed if only for background programs, and general program bloating, but you aren't likely to be able to improve your graphics card or cpu with the $30 gained by the ram decrease so stick with the bigger sticks of ram.

Actually, If I go down, I could increase to a Nvidia 560 Ti .
I think I might do that maybe...
