    You could probably get a 6870 for the same price as the 560.
    I like Corsair RAM.
    Cool case.

    You could always bump the 560 up to a 560ti. A bit more expensive but it's worth it.

    The 6870 will work. As long as your not using a 1.0 mobo you are fine. 2.1 is backwards compatible with 2.0.

    More RAM the better I say, also is it worth waiting for the new Windows?

    Yeah the 8GB of ram is solid. The processor depends on what you want to use the rig for, for everyday use and non gaming, the AMD performs well but for gaming, intel always tops out. Dont forget to make sure the socket on the mobo fits whatever chip you pick =)

    I'm in love with the NZXT cases. They're sexy and cool.

    Your heatsink looks like a stock one. I recently upgraded to a Zalman heatsink and I'm in love with not only its performance but its style.

    Make sure you actually get a SATA cable to connect the harddrive to the motherboard. You are buying the bare drive, so it doesn't come with one.

    Your current build is VERY good :) but save your money by pirating window 7 ultimate and burn the iso on a 4gb or higher usb an use a window 7 activator, is basically the same thing, use your spare money for a p67 lga 1155 motherboard and a i5 2500k. the rest are perfect.
