Get what pleases you bro..

Look like a great build, love that 600t

Have you thought about throwing win 8 in this build

EDIT: Also you might wanna look at a faster RAM ( maybe 2133mhz)

I dream of 0s and 1s folding to my every command,

algorithms seeping from the back of my head when I need them.

No point in getting 16GB of RAM if you're just gaming, 8GB will be more than enough. If you do ever think of wanting to change your mind about the Sabertooth you could opt out for something like an ASRock Z77 Extreme 4, Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H, ASUS P8Z77-V / PRO, MSI Z77A-GD55 / 65 - all have near enough the same features as each other.

@croski, getting 2133MHz RAM is just a waste of money and you won't see any noticeable gain, may as well save money and go with 1600MHz like he already has done.

Other than that looks good, may want to look into another 7970 though if you are planning on gaming on all three monitors at max or near max settings with playable frame rates.

I know they aren't cheap, you could go with a cheaper 7970, a non GHz edition can be found for under $400. 760W will be enough for your whole system and will allow for overclocking plus two 7970's in CrossFireX.

And obviously you don't need to get a second 7970 but if you want 60+ on highest settings on BF3 you'd want a second.

Check here for 7970 vs 7970 CrossFireX: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/508?vs=588 - here you can see what FPS you'll be getting versus each other.
