This build will many be used for 3D graphics programming/ high end games programming.

This list has been put together after recommendations and reading reviews. A few things to note
I wanted an Nvidia card and an Intel CPU.
I checked that the memory was in the recommended list from the manufacturer.
I decided to go with a PSU that had good reviews.

Basically I wanted to verify that I haven't picked anything which would bottleneck the system. I was also debating whether I should go for the 3770k/3770. Is it perhaps worth saving the money and going for 3570k/3570? Would appreciate some input in this matter as this is my first build and I am wondering if I should get an overclocked CPU.

Thanks for all the help so far :)

Thanks for the advice, taking into account that I should probably stick with an i7 for professional work I think I am going to go with the 3770k and see how it fairs.
