MSi P55-GD65 - Review ~ 8k (varies around 7.8 to 8k) - You would most probably get this board , but do not go with the Intel board.. (unless you are tempted by intel boards and all that )

:P

Also take a CM 690II - If you are taking this board ~ 5.5k

Why Sapphire 5750 - Not much gaming / Already purchased ?

WD Caviar Black 1TB - Make sure u get WD 1001FALS

Go with VX450 - Better warranty

If u do not want SLI/Crossfire the go for the Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3 ~ 7k-7.3k.

If u have the budget then the CM 690. Else the Elite 430.

The VX450 of course. It has 5 years warranty backed by excellent A.S.S. For ~3.5k-3.8k its worth every penny u spend.

The WD black 1TB ~ 4.9k is not worth the 2k premium it demands over the Seagte 1TB 7200.12 ~ 2.9k. Performance wise they are almost similar.

Hmmm try to get the price of the new Nvidia GTS 450 if it fits in your budget go for it over the 5770, going crossfire or SLI later is not recommended as a new GPU at that time will simply trounce your setup plus your power efficiency goes down

NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1GB Single & SLI Review

+ hard to maintain the setup, you need a larger cabinet, a more powerful SMPS all leading to the budget to go for LIMBO so make up your mind. Hope this helps:)
