A GTX 560Ti wouldn't be much of an upgrade, it's marginally better than a 5870. I guess you could wait for the GTX 660Ti and see how it compares to the competition.
The Agility 3 might not be the best choice since it's a Sandforce drive. You're better off with a Crucial M4 or a Samsung 830.

Stay away from OCZ SSD's in my book. The Agi-3 had a lot of controller issues from what I understand. And I would just stay away from all of OCZ products in general simply because of the rep. Yes, they have newer SSDs like the Vertex 4 and such that are better controllers.. But intel has some good ones. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...tem=20-167-093

I'm using the 2x 180gb Muskin Chronos Enhanced in raid0. Why not right? They have been good to me for a little over 4 months now.

Also, if you can afford an extra $200 you should pick up a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...on=670&x=0&y=0

You could wait for the 660 ti, but I'm betting it will be close to the same price as a 670.

Thanks for the replys so far guys. I will be updating the build in Post 1 as this thread goes on.

Crucial M4 or Samsung 830 for the SSD. 128 or 256 GB capacity.

HAF X is "overkill" for a rig like yours, however if that's what you prefer then more power to you

Save some money by getting either of these PSU:

SeaSonic M12II 620
Antec HCG-620M

quess i will jump down to a 620 Watt then. One thing i might change is the CPU Cooler, i heard some really good things about the Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler and it actually beats the H80, if thats the case its kinda + for me since you dont got the possibility of H80 to leak and i heard H80 is abit more noisy than the Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler however if i change, is gonna fit with the current Ram i picked?

Can you provide a link to the RAM? I believe those might be high profile, you'll want low profile like any of these:

G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Mushkin Enhanced Radioactive 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Corsair Vengeance Lowprofile 8GB 2X4GB

NH-D14 or NH-C14 which ever is cheapest, they're both good options. the C-14 should technically be a little better/quieter but it's not by much.

This might sound retarded, but i was wondering if you can boot up the pc without the GPU and install win7 and such as i might wait for 660TI?

Yes you should be able to just hook up the monitor (assuming you have the correct connections) to the motherboard and run it off the on-board graphics (from the CPU).
