Hi guys I came up with the cheapest best parts I could find under $1300 what do you think? I may do a little overclocking but not too much. May go Sli in the future but for now I will stay with a single GFX Card

Imo you could get a much better PSU for the ~$160 you've allocated.
I'd go with either of these before I'd go with a ThermalTake PSU.

Ones $160 & the other $170. And both are lower "Wattage". But both (imo) brands more reliable & stable. So if your hardware will run on lower but more stable wattage. Thats what I'd do anyways.
