Well after a few months of indecision (well I say that but I enjoy researching and picking components nearly as much as I do building the new pc) I have a pc I'm finally happy with.

I'm going to be using it for gaming on a 24" 1920x1080 monitor and I would like to be running things like Rift, Crysis 2 and Skyrim on as high as settings as possible.

I have mouse, keyboard, monitor and windows so what is listed below are the bits I need. I'm skipping on the SSD as it adds a bit to much to the price for me, for now, might be getting one a little later down the line. Also I'm planning on unlocking the GPU does this one support that? I might go crossfire in a year or so as well.

Any recommendations on cutting the price a little or improving something without adding to much extra would be appreciated :)
