whats your budget, location, and what do you plan to use it for? Right of the rip I can tell you that if this is meant as a gaming machine you dont need all of that ram 8gb should be more than enough for gaming. And that the Astro A50s arent as good as the A40s that are wired. Astro makes amazing wired headsets but their wireless arent that great.

The H60 isn't the greatest, I would get an Intel 530 Series SSD, get a WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda, and invest in a better motherboard like the one I have (A Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5), even if it means dropping a pack of fans.

Go for a H100 instead of a H60. And why no Windows 8 "trail" ?

this is already built looking for replacements

The 530 series is a lot slower then the 730 (Because the 730 is 200 MORE! :P) The Sandisk Ultra Plus is faster then the 730 series.

Also, if you want thw edge, I have head the OCZ Radeon SSD's are also good

I think the 530 is also cheaper than the one the OP put in (at least it was the last time I looked). And most people won't even care that they lose some speed.

Oh. In that case, not much of anything.
