Just wanted to ask what you guys think about this build and if you have anything to change/improve and maybe even help me save some bucks.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. will this PSU maintain the system? And what normal priced GPU cooling do you suggest?

Looks good. YOu getting Ivy bridge? Due out end of April.

However, everything else looks very good.
PSU wil do fine, but don't expect CrossfireX with it. You'd need a 750W at least for that.

GPU cooling you can get any partners unique cooling designs, like MSI twin Frozr, Gigabyte Windforce 3x, Sapphire Twin X Cooler
