Dont know much about US prices but I think you can do better than the 570? Isnt the 660ti about 300 dollars or there abouts, must have come down a bit by now. Its as good as/better than the 570. Reviews are good for it.

750watts is a lot for a single gpu, even a 660/70/80, so maybe take this down a notch and might give you the dollars for a 670 even.

also, think about the 3570k i5 - its a bit faster than the 2500 and if you can get it for the same price its a good deal. i believe it overclocks as well but does get warmer than the sandy bridges

also, no cpu cooler on the list - you need one if your planning on overclocking. if your not, dont go with the 'k' cpus and save some money.
