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.

trust me i am not an intel fanboy. i hate intel !

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

an that is $1035.91 an much better

Asus mobos are picky with RAM. I wouldn't buy the RAM or mobo before you look up their "supported" list, good quality it not.

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