This is what I have so far if you have any recommendations or if there is any problems with this let me know.
what is this computer going to be used for?
build in OP is more unbalanced then the average HP
Computer mainly used for games such as Starcraft II, and CS.
But in reality I just want a really nice computer.

that's horrible and you could get a 4830 for less, why get sandy bridge and bottleneck your PC with a horrible GPU like that, anyways? Get another $100 if you want SB and then get a 460 or something, at least.
I thought I would use the GPU in the OP, but you guys don't seem to like that. I'll try again in just a sec. I just thought that the Athlon Jaehead suggested could be better.

Here's a build that's probably a lot better and more balanced than my last one:

This build is a lot more balanced than my Sandy Bridge build. If you want to, you could downgrade the 6870 I picked out to a 6850 and get a better/Crossfire ready PSU or the x6 or something. You could also downgrade your case for extra cash also. I'm thinking that you want that case because of the window?
Thanks for the help so far.
