    I want to build a gaming PC for SWTOR and BF3

    I'm far from an expert, but I have a couple of comments. IMO you should buy a cheaper motherboard and/or get rid of the SSD and instead buy a better GPU - either a 6950, 6970 or 570. Also, you could probably buy a better (lower watt) PSU for the same price.
