- WD Green = shit for a normal HDD. Get a 60GB SSD and a 1TB Black/Blue HDD and you will be good.
- Swap the 560Ti for a 560 (there is minimal gain between the 2 cards).
- The case is crappy, go for a Bitfenix Shinobi window, just get 1 extra fan for the top exhaust. (120mm would do)
- You do not need Dominator RAM. Get Vengeance RAM, and only 8GB of it.
- You might want a motherboard, if you don't plan for SLi, get an ASUS P8Z68-V-LE, good cheap motherboard.
- Go for a Silverstone 600W Strider PSU to give you just that little extra for the same price as a Corsair.
- OS looks good.
- CPU is fine.
- Get a CPU cooler, ask Karma what is good.
- Monitor is meh.

Pick one of those depending on your price range since you clearly have absolutely no idea what you're doing.

You also may want to purchase a motherboard

You chose a case with a PSU, and put another PSU in the list.

- Swap the case with something like CM Enforcer/Lian Li PC-K9/ Antec 902v3/ Silverstone RVO3
- Add an after-market CPU cooler with the CPU you have chosen as its a beast to overclock i suggest - CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO or Noctua NH-D14
- Change the WD Green to Seagate Barracuda 1TB $109
- Your wasting your money on that ram - GSkill Ripjaws 8GB 1600mhz
- You need a motherboard mate or you wont a pc . Like what was suggested before the ASUS P8Z68-V-LE or even go for Asrock Extreme3 Gen3
- For the power supply 650w is more than enough. Corsair TX-650 V2
- Cut out the fans
- Save yourself $100 by torrenting OS
- Go with a different brand for the monitor such as Samsung/ BenQ

Edit - Change the GPU to eitheir a 6950 / 570 / 6970

PCCG have very limited mATX stock.
