Eh, that 240 will bottleneck the PC. And 750W for PSU is WAY overkill, you need 500W.

Right now there are a lot of sales, you can pick up a 5770 for as low as $125 shipped.
 
I want the pc to be easy to upgrade that's why I went the larger power supply and ya I forgot to change the video card before I posted this, I knew I would need something more powerful..
 
Well, 750W is still way over powered, I mean, unless you plan on getting two 5770s in crossfire, or even something more powerful. If you want to future-proof yourself for upgrades, go for 600W, 650W. That way you have a bit extra cash for say, the video card ;)
 
I hear ya money isnt the big issue I am going to start by buying $200 worth of parts a month till the build is complete. I think it will also be good way of slowing down the build so I can do it right with out messing shit up putting it together to fast and also maybe some prices will fall by the time I buy my video card ;) I am going to buy the tower and power supply right after christmas...or maybe today who knows
 
Yeah make sure you don't lowball your video card. Nice CPU choice :) I have the same. I overclocked it to a 965BE just .2 over.
 
It wont be! But since the motherboard has a built in video card I can use that till I order my video card.....I am so pumped to get this stuff I haven't built a computer in so long but the last one I build is still running strong and I built it I think 10years ago!
