Just make sure to browse around Anand's Bench section before you pull the trigger on anything. The parts you have there seem pretty solid. Put any thought into a motherboard?

Might want to spend the extra $15 for a i5 2500k if you plan to overclock. You may also want to wait a week or two and see what nvidia releases or pick up a 7870 over that gtx 570.

What are some things you're still unsure about?

Also, This might not be a bad thread to look at.

with a 200$ sandy bridge, and with the video card you picked, you will never be under a 700$ build

OP skipped some stuff. Does that mean he has it already or just forgot to ?
I am gonna help out with a table :

Case : Antec 300 60$
PSU : ???
Mobo : ???
CPU : i5-2500 210$
GPU : EVGA GTX570 340$
RAM : GSkill Ripjaws 8GB 47$
Disk : ???

You are already at 657USD plus shipping at this point.
Do you have the mouse, keyboard and audio out (headphone or speaker) ?
I think the CPU and GPU is way too expensive for a 700USD build.
