building first gaming PC ever...thoughts?

How does this look to y'all. I feel like I might have a winner but I want to ask around before I wind. up dropping the dough. The system is gonna be for gaming first, some word processing second. Games I'm gonna wanna play are all the Valve games, all the Blizzard games, maybe some Guild Wars 2 or FF14, and probably Crysis 2. Lemme know what your thoughts are -- I'm completely new to this!

I'd get a 5870 insteadsmc91352

I mean 1000 for the total build. Yeah it's good to keep in mind that installing the OS is the longest part...first build, kinda nervious! I'll be happy when it's all up and running, that's for sure.

I go Nvidia video cards because I trust their drivers more then anyfan-boy interestroulettethedog

I think I'm gonna swap out the processor for an i5-750 and keep the graphics card.
