Are you planning on playing new, graphics-heavy games on Windows? Using CAD software? Rendering movie-length videos in HD? Compiling browsers from source? If it isn't one or more of these, the build is probably overkill.

I am playing to make some HD videos (not movie length though). Also, I might end up compiling some browsers from source (I am interesting in developing a web browser).
You should ask in a bigger forum somewhere where people really have experience with building computers. They have proper builds that are tested etc :)
I dunno, damn computers are expensive. Glad that my 10yo machine is still chugging along.
I would never pay that much for a graphics card. I would simply wait 3-5 years and get the same one used for 100 bucks. But I don't know what you want to do with it.
