All I am really planning on doing with this rig is playing games [Fallout 3, Crysis, GTA4, ect.] and doing homework [MS word, MS excel, etc.]. I don't expect for everything to run on ultra high, and don't really think I want to shell out 400 more bucks for the 5970. Thanks for your opinions in advance, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
 
Well, you don't need a website to compile a list, your best bet is to browse newegg and find parts for yourself.

Much more rewarding, anyway. :p
 
Ok, Well any suggestions on better products?

And according to this "website" what is the total cost?
Around 1500
But I don't really think I need to shell an extra 200 even. I know its the "best" there is, I am just fine with what I have
 
The Asetek CPU Cooling System is a joke. A good air cooling setup will outperform it for less money

Don't bother getting DDR3 1800MHz memory. Look at the OCZ Gold or Platinum DDR3 1600MHz memory with faster timings and the cheaper pricetag.

If you want a Good Power Supply with plenty of extra power for future upgrades then look at the Corsair 850 watt unit.
