get the 3570k instead of 3570, or get a locked Motherboard and drop the after market cooler.
-over priced RAM, and to much ram. get the cheapest duel 4gb sticks you can get.
thats all i see wrong with it.
Proud member of the MCF AWA war of '13! if someone suggests Alienware or Cyberpower, wait for a custom-built list from someone who knows their stuff. Meh Rig
Keyboard is terrible.
Should consider a better monitor with that budget.
What's with the 250GB Caviar Blue? Just get a Barracuda 2TB.
CPU is locked, shouldn't be after looking at all those fans.
Have you looked at the NZXT Switch 810 for the case? It looks prettier.
No headphones?
Have you gave Windows 8 a proper look? It's actually quite good.
