Grats on gold member! Good build, you could probably do a little better if you got a 'worse' motherboard, though.

[QUOTE=Xokiller65;27480793]Do you currently have the G.SKILL F3-10666CL9D-4GBNS RAM?[/QUOTE]

If you're worried about its quality, it's fine.

the 5770 is probably as cheap as it's going to get in its performance bracket

You could look through the open box deals when you're ready to purchase it, a 5770 is probably your best option, though. You could lower it down to a 4830 but a 5770 is going to last a lot longer.
