Don't really like the cooler and you don't need 32gb of ram at all, 8gbs would be fine for gaming. Would go for a 4770k instead of the 3930k if you want an I7. Which you won't if you are not doing a lot of rendering or video editing.

The CPU cooling is what i would change but just because i like water cooling.

A water-cooled mid-tier gaming PC.
