I'm pretty much ready to order, any suggestions? I'm thinking about switching to a cheaper set of ram and psu to lower the cost a bit.

I'm thinking about switching to
Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB PDC22G6400LLK
and
CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX
 
Make the switch... the GXS 700W has ripple... ripple = bad for your computer... and the LLK sticks are just nicely priced AR for some micron chips. You could also switch to the Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B to save even more money. I have both, and I prefere the Ninja to the Tuniq.
 
I say switch to the Patriot RAM and the Corsair PSU you listed. That should lower your costs by a bit while still giving you a lot of performance.

Oh and don't buy the Corsair 520H at newegg.com. Go buy it at zipzoomfly.com. It's $106 shipped. No tax unless you live in California. Even with California tax, it comes out to $113 shipped.
 
Nice.

Well your build is good as long as you make the PSU and RAM switch. Then you'll be golden. Oh don't forget enginurd's suggestion about the Scythe Ninja.
