@Analizer, sound card isn't needed, that much on a case with the budget given is too much, unless overclocking, the CPU cooler isn't needed, and you could get much more for the money.

Case + Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.492951 $220

HDD + PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.492764 $220

CPU + mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.493879 $405

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125333 $220

DVD Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135202 $17

OS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116754 $100

Comes out to $1107 BEFORE MIR
$1017 After MIR

You get a much better CPU than the other build, better motherboard, better power supply, and the whole thing is more for your money

Agreed with Aastii. NO need for sound card, and why P55 if with G6950?

As you are overclocking, you will need an aftermarket HSF then. depending how much you can fit into the budget:

$27: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233001

$45: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185143

$50: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103088

$70: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103089

I would personally go with either of the V6 coolers. However as you can see the $50 one has red LED fans, which would clash a little with your blue case fans. If you are ok with that, the price difference is worth it.

The Xigmatech one will cool well enough to get a pretty decent OC, however you do get what you pay for. And remember that to say the scythe cooler is large would be one hell of an understatement, that thing is massive.

What you could do is swap out the case and memory that I posted for:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.492939

which is $135 ($85 less than the other). The case isn't as large and doesn't have as much airflow, but is still very very good, as are all Lian Li cases. That would cover your heatsink cost. I'd also advise getting some decent thermal compound too:

as well as some 90%+ isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to clean off the old thermal grease. You will need either a lint free cloth or coffee filters to clean off the old thermal compound from the CPU along with the isopropyl
