for a budget build, go AMD... either 965BE or FX4100. 965BE is better at stock speeds but if you're planning on OC, then fx-4100 will perform better. I think it can go to 4.6ghz easily with the right cooling. not saying higher clock speeds = better performance though. google some 965 vs 4100.

for motherboard, depends on if you plan to OC or not. a solid MOBO for amd would be 970-UD3 . (good and cheap overclocker)

your selected gpu would do just fine.

I see you are getting your stuff at NCIX. Go to memoryexpress.com and see if they have the same items. they priceBEAT anyone else's prices not pricematch.

btw ncix is having a warehouse sale... may 26? on viking.

if you still need a PSU, don't go OCZ. Go quality on this one... corsair, xfx, antec.
