So, what's your question?

Does the system seem good to you and could I save money and reduce power to 750 Watt but still support the listed parts without stressing the PSU. Or should I stay with 850 Watt?

I would toss the 9600 B2 stepping and get a 50s B3 stepping series. The 00s B2 stepping had a TLB bug. As far as the P/S its kinda of overkill but if you want a larger I like both of these better

^^^ What he said.

So will 750 Watts be enough for my needs? This will be the only computer I will use for about 5 years I think (yeah, I'm that poor) and I'm on a tight budget.
