Hi all, Ive been researching this for a couple days and i think i have a decent setup, but im not sure about compatibility between the parts, and any tips on alternate parts/additional parts would be appreciated. Im also curious if this PSU is going to be enough juice. The plan is to use this system for making/viewing blu ray backups on my 1080 lcd, and adding a 5770 video card when it comes on sale.

Everything looks good. The cpu motherboard deal is no longer available so here is the motherboard that I would use http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128411
Everything is fine except for the power supply. Antec Basiq units are not built to the same quality as their other products and are sometimes unreliable. This will do fine: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139003 (Don't be fooled by the lower wattage, this unit is actually MORE powerful than the other unit)
Yes, I agree with sam. I did not look close enough and I though it was an antec earthwatts series which are better.
