So far I have picked out these pieces for my pc. Do they all look pretty good? If so could anyone recommend me a good GPU? Looking to keep it around $400.

Also if you have any recommendations to change out these items let me know please.

This PC will be used for gaming and streaming. WoW, D3, GW2, LoL, CS:GO, DOTA2, etc

Thanks

So now this is what I have decided on. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
 
If money doesn't matter, then Extreme 6; but I think the Extreme4 offers a lot.

You might want a 1TB HDD instead of 500GB. I bought the WD Blue 500GB and had to buy a second one cuz I filled it up so fast. It would have been better to have bought a 1TB in the first place. The 500GB is $70 and 1TB is $90.

I would buy the Samsung 830. It's hands down the best. I bought the Intel 330 120GB cuz of price ($100). In Taiwan, we don't have the Samsung 830, but that was my first choice.
