I would up the PSU to 550-650w and up the video card to a 6870 for an extra $35

I am almost positive you can find a better deal if you wait, but if that is what you are going with that you defiantly want a better PSU. But not a diablotek, those are garbage. (see post before yours)

What do you mean a better deal and how long should I wait?

Rather you buy now or later its always smart to purchase everything at once. Buying a quality psu is important for sure. I also support the suggestion of the 6870.

I changed the power supply but now I'm interested in knowing what kind of performance I will get with Battlefield 3 and Skyrim?

With a 6870 you should be able to play BF3 on high and Skyrim on Ultra (but you might need to turn down the AA). Depends what resolution your screen is though.

Looks like a nice build for the price, I would if I could
