This is currently what's in my shopping cart, I'm will not be building it my self but will have a friend build it for me, he can't help me pick parts (long story) I picked out these parts, (yes I know there is no HDD or Disc Drive, I will take care of that later) I guess what i'm trying to ask is, what is your opinion on what I plan to buy, is my psu a piece of shit ? Is it good ? just ok ? Do you see something that wouldn't be compatible ? Do you think I should upgrade something ? I'm also trying to stay on budget 1300-1400.

 

Would take a while, lots of back and forth posting, don't want to spam up the board.

Don't forget optical drives, and an SD card reader.

 

Interesting selection of components. You've opted for overkill on the graphics yet picked the PhenomII X6 for the CPU. I suppose gaming uses less CPU strength and more GPU strength these days, but I can't help but wonder if it's wise. You could do just as well using a HD5870 and a Core i7-930 (which, whilst being fast, also is very overclockable).

Aside from the omission of HDDs and ODDs (which are usually the last things you think of when building the system), it looks like you've also neglected picking a replacement HSF (Heatsink Fan). Whilst they're not necessary if you ignore the overclocking option, CPUs that operate under lower temperatures will last much longer.

A word of warning, I've just been looking at reviews over the CM692 case (since I've never heard of it before) and it may not be suitable for the HD5970. A quote from benchmarkreviews.com:
