I was just wondering If afew people could look It over for me Because Im quite new to PC hardware Etc, Idealy Im looking for:

*Any tips on possible Improvements
*Any warnings about possible problems I might encounter with this setup
*General thoughts on Its Specs/Cost

Specs are as follows:

Note:

After some research it has been sujested i drop the Xtreme gear parts from this build due to unreliability (Being the PSU and CPU cooling)
Also that I upgrade to SATA III harddrives.

Comments welcome!

You may look into the I5 2500k cpu, lower price point and from what i have heard it overclocks as good or better than the I7 2600k providing nearly the same perfomance for less bucks.

Also I had thought the new generation intel cpu's were capable of triple channel ram? might look into that for a bit more perfomance, and remember if you go triple channel its usually best to have 3 ram modules not 2 or 4
