1) Get the OCZ GameXStream

2) Don't get Adata... (OCZ, Corsair, Kingston, pqi, ect all better brands)

3) Don't get a AMD system! You'll ruin the performance!

4) Get the MSI 8800GTS G92...

Don't listen to the fanboys.

Your build looks fine except the Power Supply and the Memory.

Intel current perform better than AMD.
2 x 3870 is cheaper than 3870 x 2

Even you plan to get AMD at the end, Get a 790X/ 790FX chipset instead.

CPU: Get a black edition. with aftermarket heatsink

I'd also expect a better GFX (8800's)... Look at the MSI 8800GTS G92.
