I've been searching the web for the last weeks or so and came up with this build. I really want to order the parts soon and finally build my very first PC. :bounce:

Please look through my parts and give me some feedback and criticism.

Consider the new Nvidia GTX 660ti. Same price but benchmarks show it is stronger than the HD 7870 (although you are getting the OC'd version so I don't know how that changes the scores). Worth considering though.

Also, I just got this motherboard:

It's also Ivy Bridge compatible, and has everything I need at least. Saves you $45.

The 660ti is not better than the 7870.
