Wait until Haswell comes out. Your 920 will be more than sufficient until then. Why upgrade to the latest and greatest when it won't be the latest and greatest in 3 months?
Also, get an SSD, even if it means dropping something else. Nothing else will make the PC seem faster in day-to-day use.
SSD is included, Switching to OCZ like DizZz said to. I'll use it to boot and some non-steam games. (TF2 alone is 10 gigs, I'd rather put that on the 7200RPM)
As for Haswell... 4700 series, whats the price going to be on that?
you don't need that big a power supply unless you are planning on running triple video cards. a 750w or 850w is more than enough for 2 cards so i would change that. for the ssd i would recommend the ocz vector instead. it's the fastest ssd you can buy right now and is incredibly reliable. for the motherboard i would suggest getting the asrock OC formula if you plan on overclocking a lot since it has a lot more features, a better bios, and better power delivery than the sabertooth. if you aren't really pushing your OC then it does not really matter which board you get as long as it has the features you want/need.
as for places to buy parts (im assuming you're from the us) here are the places you should look at:
newegg
tigerdirect
amazon
microcenter
ncix
just see which place has the best prices but these 5 are the most reputable for computer parts
I plan on upgrading this thing through the ages, but you ARE right. 1050W is a power plant. I'll scale down to 850W
OCZ actually has better benchmarks, thanks for that.
As for the mobo, I'll stick with the Sabertooth. OC'ing isn't going to be major, I'll only be pushing the i7 card up to 4 GHZ on a regular basis, 5 GHZ if i decide to be crazy.
Have to admit though, the Asrock looks pretty sweet...
