CPU looks good but the motherboard and graphics might need some looking into.

The H55 motherboard has integrated graphics and since you are going with a separate graphics card that isn't really needed. Plus, if want to expand later and go SLI you wouldn't be able to. I would go with a P55 motherboard instead it has all of the features i mentioned.

The graphics are a tad bit outdated. The new GTS 450s just rolled out along the the GTX 460s taking the market with great reviews. These cards support DX11 for Windows 7 as well.

The "liquid cooling" option is pretty much not needed if you do not plan to overlcock. And if you do plan on overclocking go with that free upgrade to DDR3-1600 for more head room.

 

As always, you could probably save a few more $$$ and/or get better quality parts if you buy the parts separate through newegg or tigerdirect or ewiz.
