I am looking to build my very first PC. I have done a ton of research to the point where i am not to intimidated of doing it on my own. Although my experiences with doing things that i am not sure of on my own is not so great, i think i feel confident building this on my own with the proper parts that are compatible with each other.
I have selected the processor. I would like a 3rd generation intel i5 (i5 3570k) and i might OC it in the future. I am not so sure how to OC it, but i know its not so expensive at all and it increases the processors speed. Along with the processor i have an idea of what graphics card i want. I was looking into the amd radeon 6950 or 7850, but i heard the amd drivers are terrible and i will have to wait for an update in drivers everytime a patch comes out on a game. I've also heard the NVIDIA drivers are excelent, but the nvidia GPUs that compete with the 2 radeons i have seleted are much more expensive and not as strong.
As for the rest of the parts i have some selected, but would like better deals on prices.

Are there any parts that i should swap out because its unnecessary or there is a better price?
