Total: $1379, before $65 in rebates.
Make sure you use the promo codes on the memory and optical drive.
With such a large SSD, do you really need a hard drive? If you do, then get one of the capacity you need:

Even with a 2 TB hard drive, you still fit inside your stated budget, including shipping and before rebates.
The motherboard and CPU heatsink will be fine for a moderate overclock, but neither are appropriate to a more extreme overclock.
There is also this combo deal available and you would only have to add the parts missing from those selected by Quiz to complete it.

i didnt mind ur case choice but i thought the power supply was a bit low.
I have looked to PC Gamer for some time on thebest gaming rig.
The PC Gamer Rig: New CPUs, motherboards and more
Is a good read and advice. The mag use to have three price points of recommended hardware. But I haven't bought a mag since '10, so I don't know if they still have that.
Another good site is Tom's Hardware.
System Builder Marathon, August 2012: $1000 Enthusiast PC
Can't forget SharkyExtreme
PC Buyer's Guide for Gaming Enthusiasts -- May 2012
This is the Best Information on setting up a Rig you will ever find. The thing I like is they include three price points. High, Medium, and Low so you can pick and choose what you want to spend money on. I'm gonna recommend some brands, but not models: Antec, Intel, Nvidia, Asus & Crucial. After 25 years of building and buying parts these are the brands I recommend. Once again, I am not a paid spokesperson for any brand. This is my personal opinion.
Boy: Why can't I talk to Him?
Mom: We don't talk to Priests.
As if it could exist, without being payed for.
F2P means you get what you paid for. Pay nothing, get nothing.
Even telemarketers wouldn't think that.
It costs money to play. Therefore P2W.
For overclocking, it depends greatly on how far you want to overclock. For a moderate overclock, the hardware I linked will be fine. If you want to push the processor as far as it will go and risk frying it even without getting any problems from temperatures or power delivery, you'd want something better. Either of these combo deals would work:

So would this motherboard, though it doesn't come in a combo deal with the processor:

I'm not sure what you're planning on doing that would make 650 W insufficient. Maybe you'd need more wattage for SLI or CrossFire, but that's out of your budget. But even if you do need more wattage, you don't want to give up quality to get it. The Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold lineup is decent (pretty good in most ways, but the ripple suppression is downright mediocre), but you don't want to pay a high end price tag for something that is merely decent. These would be better:

The processor cooler that you picked is very old, to the degree that a mounting bracket for modern processor sockets is purchased separately. Heatsinks don't scale with anything analogous to Moore's Law, but there have still been significant advances in the last several years, so I'd recommend picking something more modern.

I wouldn't get a Corsair Neutron SSD, or at least, I wouldn't get one just yet. It uses a LAMD controller that is very new, rather than a more established controller. The controller looks good in reviews, but new SSD controllers are likely to have major firmware problems at first, which get fixed over the course of subsequent months. I don't know if the firmware is written by Corsair or by LAMD, but neither have significant prior experience in writing SSD firmware.
Rather than getting something that might be good or might not, you can get something that has been on the market long enough to have a good track record for cheaper:

And with a larger usable capacity, too.

For a video card, on your budget, I don't see any reason not to get a Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, since that's the fastest single GPU card you can get.
I'd like to point out that it is September, not May. Two of your links are from May. The PC Gamer rig is downright awful, as it wants you to run everything off of a WD Caviar Green hard drive.
The Sharky build grabs quite a bit of rather dated hardware, as if completely unaware of anything that has happened in the last four months--which is, of course, because it was written so long ago. I'm not sure what the intended use on their builds is, but a $2000 build with a sub-$200 video card doesn't scream "gaming".
Tom's Hardware goes in the opposite direction, chasing after the highest average frame rates they can get today on a fixed budget. They completely ignore that anything might happen in the future, and put little emphasis on reliability. That's fine for a web site article where it doesn't matter what happens to the computer a month after it is assembled, but that's not what you want to build for your own use in real-life.
k heres my build. all i need now is a heatsink that would go with it as i have no clue what to get for that

Check here and choose whichever you prefer (that will also fit in your build). Great site for CPU cooler reviews.
