I'd also recommend eVGA.

$345 (before $15 MIR) - EVGA GeForce GTX 570 1280 MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI-I/Mini-HDMI SLI Ready Limited Lifetime Warranty Graphics Card, 012-P3-1570-AR

+1, I couldn't think of any other good brands off the top of my head. eVGA is definitely on the good list.
 
Thanks everyone for all the help!

My system is up and running without a single hiccups from start to finish. I'm loving the speed of the SSD. Such a joy culling with LR now, and photo editing is a fantastic. I know I wasn't able to stick to the suggested parts on most, but having a starting point was a huge help, thanks again.

Oh, and I kept the Sapphire video card that I got, and I don't have any complains with the video card. I was able to hook it up my 27" ACD, and my 2-23" Dell at full resolution with no problem. I'm also running Starcraft 2 at 2560x1440, details all maxed out and constantly hitting 60-65fps. Also got a base score of 7.5 (processor), and the highest of 7.9 on the windows score. I barely pass 5 on my other systems. lol.

I'm not a heavy gamer (not anymore, moved to consoles), so pretty happy with the built.

Thank you again for all the help.
