Looks good to me The coolermaster hyper 212 fan is a good option for a custom cpu cooler.

The corsair tx 650 is a good psu

I'd downgrade the case a bit and get a 129gb SSD instead

decent build, but i would recommend a bigger monitor, something like a 23-24 inch.  The SSD is ok, you will be using that as a boot drive plus storage for maybe 1 or 2 of your favorite games, rest of your games will be on the 1tb HDD.  The video card is also a bit weak sauce, maybe upgrade to something a little stronger, say a radeon 7870XT if you can find it.

You should get a CPU cooler since you are buying an unlocked processor. Stock coolers are terrible.

Suggestions: - Get a bigger SSD - Cooler: CoolerMaster 212 Hyper Evo - Get a better GPU (might want to wait a few days for the GTX 760 or go with a radeon 7870xt or 7950)

What do you think about this type of cooler? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2543342&Sku=T925-8046

If you haven't paid yet, wait a couple more days and pick up the 760, it won't cost much more than the 660 but offers the performance of the 670.

Stop whining about the 760 in every single thread, it's not going to be all that

Get a bigger SSD - 64 gigs won't do much else than just your operating system + regular every day programs.  If you want any games on it you should get at least a 120, I'd recommend a 256.

Remember when you bought your godly 7870XT? I am bringing up the 760 in threads where it is relevant - i.e. when somebody is considering a 660,660ti or 670.
