I am building a computer. I have already purchased a 'GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores Classified ULTRA' video card from Newegg for $170. I have also purchased 8gb of G.skill Sniper Ram. (Black Friday Sale - Total spent ~$210 W/O MIR)

Here are the parts I still need to purchase. Before I spend the money, could you guys please revise my build?

Please keep the price of the items I still dont require (Ram and Graphics) around ~$600
Thanks!
 
-PSU is overkill as the stuff you have isnt that demanding power wise
-That thermal paste is not needed
-Proccessor is under powered
Things to do
-Buy a lower wattage but name brand PSU
-Try an intel proc and mobo (i5 and name brand mobo)
-Try to see if you can fit a 1TB HDD on the build
 


I agree here - the thermal paste and wrist strap are not needed - you can omit those. I'd return that 560TI if you can and invest in a better video card. No reason to spend $900 on components to pair them with an outdated video card.

+1 on the above build, you need a much better processer

But then with the above build you're stuck with a very limiting motherboard. Get H77 instead or a low end Z77 motherboard. B75 is useless on a gaming rig.

For $900 here's what I would get:
