I need advice on my configuration

If anyone would look at my current configuration and give their opinions I would be thankful. Feel free to change anything as long as it stays in my budget.

Budget:
[No more then $2,000 at the moment. I do not plan on spending a huge amount of money on a computer I can upgrade in the future.]


Expectations:
[I expect my rig to run Battlefield 3 and Skyrim with ease. I currently have the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 580 selected and I think this card will do the trick.]

Usage:
[I plan on using this computer for gaming more than anything. I do not want multiple monitors for peripheral vision or 3D or anything like that.]

Special Needs:
[I have no special needs for this. I do want it to run cool and fairly quiet, but i do not want to spend too much money on sub=zero cooling or anything like that.]

I've been out of the loop for a while now, so you'll likely get some better advice from the other guys, but here's what I think:

(1) Never buy an overclocked card. You can do it yourself easily, and they probably charge more for it. Not sure if DS has a non-overclocked 580 though. Try expert mode to check.
(2) Chassis mod is probably an error? It doesn't work with that case, and even if it did I think you could spend your money better.
(3) Get your speakers somewhere else. Granted, it's only 12 dollars, but they're likely not too good.
(4) Get the overclock on the processor, not the turbo boost. Unless you can do it yourself. It's worth it.
(5) Personally, I'd get the NH-d14 over the corsair cooler.
(6) I'd get a different virus protection. Probably E-set, but I'm out of the loop on this as well.
(7) I'd also go with a 750HX over the 800GS power supply.

As for the 580 vs 570 thing, I really couldn't say. Someone else should be able to help with that.

The A70 cpu cooler is gone.  The D14 or Phantek are great options.

Another option for your budget is the ODE level 1.   Very good gaming for the price.

 

I changed mobo to LE to save money.  The Le can't sli, 2x gpu or do stage 2 overclocking but with the better psu over the ODE 1 allows future gpu upgrade more easily.
