Change your Antec PSU to either a Corsair or Silverstone. And you will only really need 4GB of RAM, that will save you 80 bucks or so.

And put it together yourself, it's easy to learn and will save you another $200 in labour.

Dont really need ultimate either, get premium and save ~ 100, and spend that on a GTX 570 . Also, get a samsung F3 drive, heard about too many problems with seagate drives.

Other than that and what slogga said, good build and bol building

run far far away from seagate drives
Samsung/WD are recommended. I love my 1Tb caviar blacks.
As slogga said, save some money and go with 4Gb and put it towards a 120hz monitor.

change the PSU to one of these: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_354&products_id=17209

You dont need 900watts for an SB with a 560. The 750 will do fine and be of higher quality.

It appears that Seagate will be manufacturing the harddrives, while samsung will be doing NAND
If your a fan of the F3's, get em while you can then its back to the Western Digitals imo

Get this Ram instead of the vengeance kit which is (1 x 4gb) as you don't get a dual channel configuration

www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=186_538_913&products_id=15028

Also a spinpoint f3 or hitachi save 30+ dollars from the wd caviar balck

Everything else is fine

You can probably get a better monitor for that money (Assuming this because it's acer.)
