I made sure to give higher consideration to items with things like rebates and/or markdowns. You'll have to put the elbow time in yourself but that's half the fun! And it's cheaper than your barebone kit >.>

All items on Newegg.

1x COOLER MASTER Storm Scout SGC-2000 Black Mid Tower
1x Western Digital Cav Black 1TB 7.2kRPM 32MB Cache SATA 3Gbps HDD <- Won't make use of all 6Gbps ur board delivers, but those drives are expensive. You can expand later. (Or now )
1x MSI 870A-G54 AM3 ATX Motherboard with USB3
1x XFX Radeon HD5770 1GB PCI-e x16 <- Exact card you wanted
1x XFX Black Ed 750W CrossFire Ready MODULAR PSU <- Modular = win. Also silver certified.
2x Mushkin Enhanced BLACKLINE 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600 <- Best memory on the market. Note to buy 2 kits for the full 8GB.
1x AMD PhenomII X6 'Thuban' 2.8GHz
1x CoolIT ECO-R120 Advanced Liquid Cooling Kit (Ceramic) <- This will be the only hard part of your build, but CoolIT has really nice tutorials on installation.

Here's an alternative MoBo, its basically big brother of the board I picked, and as such it is more expensive. However, its a beast board.
MSI M90FXA-GD65 AM3 ATX Motherboard with USB3


all of this will work together well?
