Thanks for the replies guys.
I have a Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X and an OCZ Stealth Xtreme 500w PSU. I also have an OCZ Agility 3 60gb SSD. I don't really have any particular aims in terms of performance, I know the 5770 can hand Crysis 2 and Battlefield 3 on high with 30 fps, I'm cool with that.
I chose the Ripjaw RAM before and had it in my basket, but I realised the motherboard mentioned only speeds of 1333mhz, so I thought I'd downgrade.
Where did you find out it didn't have USB 3.0? It said that on some review websites but the motherboard description says it has it and it's also a revised model. I know I'm cutting corners on the motherboard, but I'm not going to overclock and I'm going to be sticking with this build for a while, plus Asus seems to be a very trusted brand.
Thanks again for the replies guys, I'm already bummed that I'm spending this much money, I need to make sure I'm spending it right.
