I would have passed on the water-cooling "kit" for a decent air cooler, but that's a very solid setup you have there.

It seems overpriced to me. For that much money, I would think you'd get at least a 750w PSU, and Quad-Core like a Q9550.

Great setup, but overpriced. Your PSU isn't the best though, and you should really OC your proessor because at stock, its just average.

The Corsair TX-750W it's cheaper than the Corsair HX-620W...

Average? How?

It's one of the best cpu's for gaming right now and can easily be overclocked in the future if it needs to...

I woulda gotten a different Motherboard, possibly an X48 chipset or maybe a better P45 chipset such as the MSI Platinum P45, or Asus P5Q3 deluxe.

But other than that, nice computer mate!
