1333 and 1600 doesn't make much difference in ram. srsly ramspeed is the biggest hoax in computer parts D:. Also just buy a mechanical keyboard. Doesn't look fancy, does its job because you can press ALL BUTTENZ together at the same time and it'll register. On video-card just pick whatever you like but do know that nvidia takes more power and generates more heat(fermi housefires etc). Also, processor cooler brah, if you plan to overclock. imho it isn't needed, you could just as well buy a locked 2500 i5 and not buy a cooler and be fine.

I caused an argument on /g/ by asking which one of the graphics cards i should go for. Was pretty epic. Apparently this nvidia card series doesn't have any problem with heating, unlike the last one. Plus the only bonus I can see with going for the 6950 is multisupport for monitors (3 + monitors), but i only plan to use 2. And the 570 supports up to 2, so the only advantage would be slightly lower price. Don't think i plan on overclocking, but i may as well leave my options open.
