Honestly if I was going with LGA 2011 I'd go with the i7 3930K, just because I think that's the best for the price, whereas the 3960X is 1,029 USD and has barely any better performance than the 3930K (btw it's 570 USD). Sure the i7 you have selected is a great CPU, but for the price you can get better performance from other CPU's. That I know for sure, because $300 can get you something unlocked and probably better in the long-run.

It looks like you've built this on ibuypower, seeing how there are no brands and you probably copy+pasted the list of components. I HIGHLY recommend (so will everyone on this forum) that you leave ibuypower and build it yourself or even have a technician build it for you (if you don't feel comfortable). Even though ibuypower isn't pre built per se, it's still much more expensive than it needs to be.

Build your computer yourself, it looks like you've got all the parts lined up, just look them up on (I personally use and recommend) newegg.com and buy all your parts there - like above make sure you have a good PSU and case.
As far as brands I'd go with a WD hard drive, Crucial/Samsung SSD (depending on budget)
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
If you want that 570, go with the EVGA GTX 570 Superclocked. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Oh, and RAM - again, this is preference/experience but I'd go with G.SKILL or Corsair Vengeance [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Remember, stay away from websites like ibuypower/cyberpower. I guess they're useful for outlining your computer, but never buy from them. Building it yourself will ALWAYS (can't think of when it wouldn't) be cheaper.

great build for the price, the 570 is a great card but nothing to good! I would look into a 670, which is better then a 580! Or a 7870 which is about the same price a 570 but has more power!
