I know I don't need the keyboard or mouse or headset but I need them.. lolol

Seems alright. But, I would drop that liquid cooling and get a better GPU. If you can build it yourself you can probably get a much better rig for that money. 750w is overkill btw. A 500watt can handle that easily.

[fox*]

or you can build one 10times better

Good build. I thought the Razer Carcharias was a 360 headset...

[Sia_^]

Not building one sorry. Don't care what you say I'm not doing it. I need at least a 600W and It's like 10 dollars more for 700 so I just got it.

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The graphics are a tad bit outdated.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.
