Sorry, 1st thread got too confusing to follow. Any changes you would make without increasing price (about $1100, which is higher than I planned) or suggestions to scale back to drop the price? I plan to buy asap. You guys have been very helpful. I appreciate any and all feedback!

Yes it will work just fine. Your build looks good, looking over it there's nothing I'd change, but a 750W power supply is overkill for your system. You'd get away fine with a TX650 which is a 650W PSU, and that would bring your price down. You'd probably still be fine with a 600W PSU such as the CX600 for this build, but I'd go for the TX650.
 
Everything looks good. If you're buying off newegg, that 6870 has a $10 off promo code. Look at all your parts for any other promo codes.
 
Thanks Vista and Clapton, I will follow your suggestions. I feel much better about spending money on the build after having you guys look at it. Too much info for a newb to digest, so I really appreciate you guys sharing your knowledge and experience to help me out. This is a great place to learn, because the people on here are cool and willing to help. Thanks again!
