Dont. Easy solution. Stop posting and by whatever the hell you want since you dont want the communities opinion about whats better for price/performance. Your obviously gonna choose whatever you want anyway. Just stop wasting the space.
I'm just trying to make sure you aren't basing your decision on wrong ideas or reasons. You asked for our opinions, and I am giving mine.
The only other thing I see that I would change, is the Sony burner. But that's only because I've had really poor luck with them.

Except that you are comparing it to the 870, which is much more expensive than the 920. WAYYYYYYYY more expensive. They are $579 on newegg. It better damn well beat the 920. The 920 build, even with the more expensive X58 board is still way cheaper than an 870 build.This entire build is based on other people's opinions I've gathered for over a month. I've gotten hundreds of comments and opinions from dozens of sites, read I-don't-even-know-how-many articles for every conceivable piece of equipment I could buy, read guides and reviews and benchmarks all across the internet, even asked some of my friends and family for advice on this build, and you dare to tell me that I've not done my research because I reject the advice of a single misguided user?
Grow up.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/intel-core-i5,2410.html
According to this review the 870 outclasses the 920 with the 750 falling somewhere in-between or close behind. To me this demonstrates that there is no reason to get a system built around a 920 unless I was looking to upgrade to Gulftowns in the near future, which I am not. x58 1366 is a more expensive platform and the only conceivable benefit I can derive is a faster second PCI-e interface, which only matters when going CF/SLI, which I do not plan on doing anytime soon, and even if I do later, the framerate difference between x8x8 and x16x16 is like 3%, and who cares about a 3% drop from 60 FPS, as long as it's smooth?
You can give me your "opinions" all day, and I guess I'm thankful for them, but the hard facts I've seen time and time again demonstrate that the i7 920 is just not the processor for me.
Well it looks like a GREAT burner to me. It does everything at the same speed as my last burner did, for 15 dollars less. 24x write speed for 37 dollars? Yes, please.

Thanks, but I'm not interested in being cutting edge all the time. There's millions of games out there, 99.9% of which would be fine with the 5850.

Spending over 120$ would be a shame for tri-channel RAM if your looking price/performance...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148246 These can easily go to 1600 cl6... GODLY RAM!
