Looks fine. But get a next gen Haswell CPU.

Also I'd go for they GTX 660 as it is better performance and has the PsyX feature.

Blows it out of the water? It is unnoticeable better on games without PhysX, and much slower with. For most, the 660 is better due to the games they play.

Also if you were getting a 7870 you should be spending the extra for the LE/XT version anyway, which is better than the 660.

But at the price point, why not go with a windforce 760? Same performance as xt, but with physx.

This I can confirm. I had a reasonable oc with fan speed at 60 (noise purposes) and I hit 82c in kombustor... Living in the south doesn't help either.

Right there, the 7870 beats the 660 when its playing on unbiased games (Games that teamed with a gpu company) and of course the 660 beat it in Bf3 and batman, because they had a a contract. May I also remind you that this isnt even the 7870ghz. THe normal 7870 is lower in price and the 7870ghz and gtx 660's have the same price.
