New PC Time!

Nice build. Unfortunately Antec HCG 520 is out of stock, only arriving next year.

Next best bet is Corsair CX500, slightly cheaper.

Otherwise upgrade to HCG 620w...
 
Very nice build. If you can, try and stretch and get a 570gtx. The 560ti is still a great card though!

The components that you chose are rather expensive.

You can save about R300 just by buying a different GTX560Ti OC card.
eg. Gigabyte GeForce GTX560Ti OC 1GB @ R2,665 * In stock at supplier
or MSI GeForce GTX560Ti Twin Frozr II OC 1GB @ R2634 * Contact for stock availability
If you REALLY want that Asus DirectCU II cooler so badly, then go for the standard overclock version, which is like R200 cheaper already: http://rebeltech.co.za/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=45_51_245&products_id=6761

I really don't know why you went for such an expensive motherboard, because you didn't state any reasons why you went for it in specific.
Like here's an MSI motherboard at roughly half that price!
eg. MSI Z68MA-G45 @ R1,307

If you really want to overclock your memory, then consider getting slightly cheaper (but still same performance) memory.
eg. G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR 2x4GB DDR3-1600 Sniper - Desktop Memory @ R469

Thanks PostmanPot. Going to go for this http://rebeltech.co.za/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=39_85&products_id=1457
I can't wait for stock as I'm only home for the holidays.

Pada the TOP version of this Asus card has slightly higher clock speeds and I like Asus' support. I'm typing this on my Asus laptop :)
Went for the mobo I chose as I want a decent solid piece of PCB that will be able to handle being over clocked for a while, when I need a little more from the CPU.
It is also is a normal size ATX board with comfortable space for another card.

Thanks for the help guys, my bro is going to be happy. :D
 
alternate:
You can just buy the Asus GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II, and overclock it to the same speeds or faster than the TOP version.

Just bare in mind that if you'll need a big case and a bigger PSU if you decide on going for SLI ... in the future.
The MSI motherboard that I listed would be able to overclock nearly as well, but it doesn't have as many expansion slots due to its size.

If you know that you're not going to use the onboard video on that Asus motherboard, then you could also consider going for the Asus P8P67 Evo, which is almost R400 cheaper: http://rebeltech.co.za/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_31_259&products_id=6455
It has the same features as the P8Z68, except for the onboard graphics and SSD caching feature, and it has dual gigabit LAN + a powered eSATA port extra.

I'm also running on an expensive an Asus motherboard (P6T Deluxe v2), so I perfectly understand your decision :)
