I’d personally you up your CPU to a i5 3570K (For the OC ability)
Take you money you were going spend on W8 and get an SSD.
Also, your watercooler is being wasted, considering none of the CPUs in your price range will get really hot. Take that money and invest it into a better GPU, say a HD 7870 I’m personally not a fan of the case, but it’s fine for what it does.
cool master case in this case?

Well, this case isn’t too good cause it’s kind of old, which is why it lacks front pa 3.0. NZXT products in my experience haven’t been too reliable. I’d personally get a Fractal Design Arc MIDI R2, CM 690 II Advanced, or Antec Eleven Hundred.
But it really depends on how you like the case to look, price point, available space, cooling capabilities, drive bays, wiring, extras, etc…
dont invest money on windows 8 (pirated games are not good in windows 8-need many fixes for the games)
put that money to buy i5 3570k and you can even get graphic card like 770
even liquid cooler doesnt help,only if you overclock instead of overclocking (which causes high power usage)

DO NOT BUY W8!!! You are wasting your money. You can get a legit W7 ultimate edition on this site. Or ask someone’s original W7 CD, install the thing and get a proper crack (which you an also find on WBB) to allow you to update. Also save money if you are not planning on ever OC’ing you cpu, thus don’t by a mobo that is suited for OC’ing your cpu (which won’t help you a lot for gaming and saves you couple of bucks). I would recommend buying a better GPU (IF you are building a gaming pc). Also the cpu cooler is not necessary if you are not OC’ing. Also your mobo is way too expensive, you could get more value for your money by buying a Asrock (or any other brand). Ausus is an expensive brand. Don’t go over 120$ for the mobo. Overall good build but the GPU could be better
Windows 7 would be better in a gaming desktop…Plus you can get it for Zilch and permanently activate it with Windows Loader..
The CPU you suggested does not O/C and would need only the stock cooler.
Get a “k” CPU and air cooling as suggested , you don’t need watercooling unless you want extreme O/C..
A cheaper mobo such as suggested would be fine.
Don’t forget a SSD…The basic model Kingstons 120GB are reasonable in price and I found mine to be very good
okay i changed a few things
