ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

don't buy that. I'm at work now, and am redoing my computer, so I can't get you a good deal right now, however, I would give that build a 2/10 automatically for a total of ZERO combos. (for shame!).

Case: whatever
Mobo: whatever gigabyte/asus/dfi/msi
Video: wait wait wait wait wait. 6000 series comes out on the 18th. Prices of stuff WILL drop eventually.
PSU: I wouldn't recommend a corsair TX. The best deal I can find is the OCZ stealthxstream II 600W. It's a godlike psu for cheap.
Processor: doesn't really matter
RAM: doesn't really matter
HDD: don't buy from newegg ever. ewiz is much cheaper.
Heatsink: don't buy from newegg ever. ewiz is much cheaper.
ODD: no optical?

If you can get everything either with a combo of $20 or more, or a promo code/coupon for $10 or more, then it's a good build.

Just FYI, I made a gtx 460 1GB and 1156 i7 build with 1080p LED LCD monitor for $1100, including a hyper 212+.
found it:
