Updated build.
Decided to go with the MOBO suggested. I don't see double booting being too much of an issue and if it does we can always send back for replacement.
Secondly, the GFX card is the only real thing I would consider changing for something cheaper. What is your opinion this card?

If that card is no good could you suggest an alternative.

Looking to make purchase before 1pm.
Again 8gb is a bit overkill, and you wanna replace the 1tb with a "Samsung spinpoint F3 1TB". That's what I use and loads of others, their pretty amazing.
Should be alright otherwise!
Also I think that P8P67-M board is a shittier version of the real one (which is why it's $100 less), I could be wrong though. BoL swiftz

its a micro atx version.... i dont particularly like micro atx boards but it should be fine..
No real expansion tho. you migt aswell drop to a 600W Strider and save some money.
i would...
Get a GTX570 over the 6970
Get a Samsung F3
Drop to a Bitenix Shinobi
use the savings for a ASUS P8Z68-V B3
