Buddy, you should go shop at Newegg. There are more options and are often cheaper than Amazon. tlmck has some good suggestions.

I'm going to post links from newegg just b/c I can.

Mushkin 2 x 4GB 1600mhz CL9 $45 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226191

ASUS P8Z68-M Pro LGA 1155 Intel Z68 $125
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131786

Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" $140

Samsung DVD/CD drive $16

EVGA GTX 560ti $250

COOLER MASTER HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 mid tower $60
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233

CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650M 650W ATX12V $120
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139031

Total: ~$756
These prices are Newegg's regular prices. They do not include their discounts. So it might be closer to ~$720.

If you make your budget $900, you should probs get a better GPU.

What kind of monitor do you have and what are you planning to play?

Edit: Although it may be tempting, don't skimp out on the PSU! If you buy a cheap power supply from an unknown manufacturer, it has a high chance of failure.

Pretty good except you could have shaved a few more dollars since he is not overclocking or doing dual vid cards. 1333 ram is stock speed so 1600 buys you nothing in this case. 550w on the PSU is also plenty with any single card and no overclock. XFX is just as good as Corsair, as is Antec, Seasonic, and Silverstone.

The motherboard is very good. It is what I use. However, it is not gen 3 so upgrading to Ivybridge and PCIe 3 is not an option.

I picked a WD Black hard drive as it is the best quality and best choice for the heavy usage described.

Still a good solid build though.
