With your budget and preference for Nvidia, I'd switch the 560Ti to a GTX670.

As for the AsRock Extreme 4, it was recently reviewed as one of the best boards for your money under $160 on Tom's Hardware.

Consider the Munchkin Blackline 8 Gb 1600 mHz or G-Skill Ripjaws X 8 Gb 1600 mHz instead. Both are as reliable as Corsair Vengeance, but slightly cheaper on Newegg.

maybe instead of a 560 Ti it could be a 480 or 570 and if he does decide that a nvidia card is to much for preformance i do prefer the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127663

You say you want Nvidia card, but currently there is no card of the new gen from Nvidia that is at the $300 mark or less. The 7850, 7870, and 7950 dominate all the NVidia cards in the same price range of $200-$300. Lower power consumption, better overclocks and better stock performance is all the benefits of the cards. After a 7850 max OC you could get the performance up to the GTX 580's performance.

Unfortunately, it's taken me longer than I'd anticipated to put all this together, what with RL and everything... Lol.

Thank you all for your input up to this point. So, my question now is, what do you think of this Build that I've put together, based on what I've listed as my requirements,etc?
