16GB of RAM, 900W PSU, Bulldozer CPU, unreliable HDD, over spending on the case, could get a far better GPU for your budget. As Overlocker said, just hope you haven't already purchased this.

Seems good from my perspective , get rid of the 900w psu and go for a small wattage mabey around 500-600 watts , you only need 8gb of ram i suggest getting a 2x4gb 1600mhz kit and get windows 7 home premium and save some more money.
also with the money you save on ram, psu and OS you can spend it on a better graphics card

PSU - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
memory - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Os - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Old price of Psu memory and os -$382.97
New price of psu memory and os - $221.98

Diffrence is $160.99
You could save this money or spend it on a faster processor mabey the 8120 or get a better graphics card !

1. Optical Drive is just fine.
2. I would go with a different case, NZXT's are built "cheaply". Get Antec or CM, or if you don't care about it being gay and flashy, get a Lian Li, very nice cases.
3. It's a waste of money to buy a Caviar Blue. Buy a Caviar Black 1TB, or perhaps a Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB.
4. Get a Z68/P67 Motherboard and an i5 2500. Or a 2500k (if you plan on OCing)
5. Get a 6850, can be unlocked to perform as a 6870 if you get one that's unlockable.
6. You don't need any more than 750w at most, doubt you'll even need that. Get a corsair.
7. Ripjaws are a good way to go, but I promise you don't need 16GB, 8GB at most.
8. Don't waste your money on Windows 7, download it for free (if you don't know how to do this, I'll gladly teach you).
9. I'd never buy a SanDisk hard drive. Get a nice Mushkin Enhanced Chronos Deluxe.

Hope this is a little more helpful than what some of the others have posted.

Good luck.
