Doesn't look like you'll be overclocking so I'd get the 945 for $25 dollars less and use that extra on a nicer case or a larger hard drive. I'd also opt for a XFX 5770 as they have a lifetime warranty.

If you were on a budget, I would suggest downgrading your power supply.  It doesn't look like you'll be doing anything too intensive and you can get a 500w PS for around $40-50.  I would also suggest you wait for the hard drives to go on sale too.  I picked up a 1TB Samsung several months ago for the same price.  Lastly, at this point, the Intel i3 & i5 chips are the way to go.  Those will give you the most bang for the buck.

Intel i3

1TB Hard Drives under $75
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...3269 600003298 4026&IsNodeId=1&name=$50 - $75

430w Power Supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153023

Since it doesn't look like you're building a powerhouse computer, these peripherals should more than suffice for the build in your price range.  You may even get a better deal if you get a case with a power supply already in it.  You'll also have the change the motherboard too since you're going with the Intel chipset, but you can decide on that one since you'll know what you need and what you will be connecting to it.

youre really going to nt for a computer build?

if you want a 5770, get a xfx 5770, lifetime warranty. what stuff you choose depends on what you plan on doing with it. list your budget and what you wanna do with it, then better suggestions will come.
