Also for the mouse and keyboard they are priced kind of high :\

I'd drop the accesories such as the KB and mouse and invest in a much more worthwhile SSD. You could also make a few improvements, such as getting the PSU ( which is the main thing you don't want to skimp on ) from a more reputable company, aka Corsair.

That HAF 922 is awfully high considering I've seen it for $79.99 else-where. The Zalman Z9 is half the price and is remarkably good. Also, don't forget an anti-static wrist band if you're not going to use the ''touch PSU method''.

I am going to keep the Hardrive I have now and down the road hopefully the prices for them come back down.

As for the PSU I changed to the one you suggested as your right going with a well known brand is probably better just incase.

and for the mouse and keyboard I need them as I don't have any spares.

But they are priced pretty high if I can find better cheaper ones I will switch them.

Understandable. But if you spend less on the accesories and more on the main components, more particularly, the video card, especially since this is for gaming it'll pay off. If you get a standard KB and mouse and save basically $100, that puts you in 570 territory. It will be more desirable now and in the long run when you eventually SLI 'em. This is just my opinion, but I've seen people in this position thinking it's the only option. NCIX is also a great site and it offers pricematching, so you can shave off quite a few dollars.

There is a keyboard and mouse combo from Logitech on newegg that is $30. I play many games and I have never once needed a gaming keyboard or mouse.

you should get higher speed ram like 1600 or 1866. I have 8g gigs of the same sniper ram but 1866.
