Looks like a decent build to me. The only thing that I would be iffy about would be the Photon Rosewill PSU, but it'll probably be fine as their quality has gotten better over the years.

Nothing special. I would not get that psu. With MIR this build actually comes out just under $1,215.

I don't think it is worth it. You can get this build (which is pretty much the same thing, with minor changes to optmize it):

It has some upgrades, and it comes at a lower cost. I didn't include the case... because that's the beauty! You get to chose whatever case you find more beautiful.

 

The benefits of the newegg build is that it IS a very well round build with no effort, and all the pieces come to you at once. You don't get the CPU on friday, and the mobo on monday, everything comes out at once. Still, if you have the time to look at other stuff, search for prices and decide what you like, you can get a better deal for your money, and one that's custom matched for your liking.
