Ivy Bridge runs a bit hot when overclocked. I think you would be better off with a Sandy Bridge build there, but it also depends on price and such.

I'll just do a quick one off the MSY PDF and see where it gets you.

There, spent most of it

The onboard video should be enough for you. You MAY want to consider an NVidia CUDA enabled card like the 550ti though, as an upgrade down the road.
