i want to start off by saying that i have posted multiple threads on this

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So, me and my friends get together alot. My friend has a 2000$ alienware with the following specs: 12gb of ram

                                                                                                                                                sandy bridge mobile i7 (dont know the exact product #)

                                                                                                                                                mobile 660 2gb video card

                                                                                                                                                750gb 7200rpm hard drive

                                                                                                                                                17inch 1080p screen

so this whole build was to one up his alienware (sounds heartless right  ;) )

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

CPU: pretty cookie cutter, really popular on the forum and it should do fine streaming and editing youtube videos

CPU COOLER: also pretty cookie cutter, looks cool, and cools well

MOBO: ac wireless, good brand, good audio, good overclocking, awesome IO

RAM: 16gb, 1600mhz, and a good brand

SSD: i wanted this system to be fast as hell so i got one of these for bf4, boot, and photo/video shop

HARD DISK: 1tb, 7200rpm, also good rep and brand

GPU: also pretty cookie cutter, should be able to play any game i throw at it

CASE: small, mitx, window, good brand

PSU: 550 watt, 80+ gold, quiet, and a good brand

MONITOR: 27", 1080p, acer, ips, 5ms response time, good brand

KEYBOARD: pretty colors(one up on the alienware), matches mouse (didnt want mechanical because i use a laptop alot and at school i use membrane, and i didnt want to feel like i was being slowed down)

MOUSE: aluminum, pretty colors, good sensor, good brand

i might go with this :) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/36pLJ

if you plan to do any overclocking and/or heavy gaming, i would definetly go with a better cpu cooler.. i would go with something from Noctua because they have a few lop profile cpu coolers that are very good..

plus, i would get a better psu if you plan to overclock and/or upgrade your gpu at all in the future, you might be pushing it a bit even with that gpu, i would get atleast a 600w.. better safe than sorry
