Is this a good build?
February 2nd, 2014
Or should I buy similar on Ibuypower?
Should I build it myself? How complicated for a first timer?

You can not overclock with an H67 motherboard. You need a P67 or Z68. No point in getting a 2500K and liquid cooler if you can’t overclock.
PS: iBuyPower is extremely overpriced. You will always get better deal if you buy the parts your self.
No i do not. And Ok so I should go with the newegg one? Any chance you have Skype? Really need help asap on finishing what I want.
Revised your build,This would be much better:
Better GFX,Case,And I added a 3rd CPU cooler which is essential for OC.
The PSU you you originally picked was way too excessive,And honestly unless you plan on using the CPU’s integrated graphics,Z68 would be a waste.
The 3 MIR + $10 promo code for the Antec 300 will put it below $900.
If you are not in a mad rush to build it, wait for the Ivy Bridge cpu’s to be released. It will probably, as has happened many times before, had the knock on effect of making the Sandy Bridge cpu’s cheaper

It will probably, as has happened many times before, had the knock on effect of making the Sandy Bridge cpu's cheaper Ivy Bridge will replace Sandy Bridge…in Q1 of 2012. If you can wait that long that is.
New sandy bridge e processors should hit the shops this year and have a knock on effect.
Just a few changes:
PSU [Corsair TX750 V2 750W 80 PLUS] (-$85):

Case [IN WIN BUC] (+$25):

CPU Cooler [ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX] : (+$70):

OR [COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus] (+$30):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065&Tpk=hyper%20212%20plus
Totals around $920 with Zalman or $880 with CM.
Or, you could save up the cash for CPU coolers and get the GTX 560 Ti Hawk.
thanks guys
