16gb ram is useless, 6850 is on par with 7770 which is alot cheaper. But in your budget range your gonna want something like a 7850, or gtx 660. 700 w is also overkill.

Are you getting an aftermarket CPU cooler? I ask because Biostar tends to not leave much room between the cpu and first pci slot. A large air cooler may end up blocking that port.

I found out the hard way...

Interesting, I didn't know that about Biostar but that's good to know.

You don't need hte extra thermal compound - that's a waste of money - and CIT cases and PSUs I'd advise against. You can definitely do better on that budget, I'd suggest:

500w is more than plenty (unless you wanna crossfire).
