This is a good build and I assume you plan to overclock so I would suggest adding a Hyper 212 + to the build.

A Radeon 7870 ghz edition will do you better than that nvidia 660, you will get better performance for the same price and that is simply because nvidia is over priced. But the rest of the build is good.

What kind of budget are we looking at? I don't want to find and add all those prices up.

The PSU choice is a bit questionable. If you plan on adding a second graphics card down the road, you're good. If you'd rather stick with a single GPU system, the PSU is overkill. 500w is more than enough for any single-GPU system, with plenty of room to overclock and add components.

good luck!

I noticed this the IB CPU supports max of 1.5V ram but the hyperX is 1.65V.
