That psu isn't good, i rather get a good one : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Also that sabertooth board is overpriced, you can get a cheaper asus with the same features : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

For gaming you just need 8GB : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... (this ram is low voltage 1.35v)

Drop the sound card, you don't need one.
Here's a good case : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Also if you can get a 670 gtx : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Or a good 660 ti : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
