And Justin O:
He’s not building a beast. He’s not spending $10,000 on a PC man.
The QX9770 is kind of pointless, and even if he used that a 1300W PSU is ridiculous. Also, read the reviews on the P5Q3. The board malfunctions a lot, and clearly wouldn’t be a good choice.
Research the components before you ’suggest’ the most expensive option that came up in your search.

your case isn’tt very good i would take a look at this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144170
and i think you should get a mobo that supports 16 gb of memory just for the future. this is a good mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131298
and i think you should have 8 gb of memory. this is good memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231228 i would get 2 of these.
also i would get a bigger power supply. this is a good psu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817814011
and i would recommend a quad-core proccessor. like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115051
