CPU: Great for the price,
CPU cooler: $30 rebate liquid cooler, will keep that CPU cool even when OCed, with a good cooler master thermal paste.
MoBo: Offers everything that regular user/gamer might need and looks awesome.
RAM: There isn't much that matters when choosing RAM, only capacity and CAS Latency, this one has 8GB 1866mhz CL9 + looks nice.
GPU: You want Gigabyte, you get Gigabyte. Not the best manufactured 7950 on the market, but it is a 7950 and that matters!
SSD: Awesome price/gigabyte ratio. Used as a boot drive.
HDD: A normal HDD for saving media, you don't need anything ultra fast for that and 500GB is enough for most people.
PSU: 700W bronze certifiied for awesome price. Crossfire ready.
Case: One of the best for the price, offers plenty of ventilation.
Monitor: 23" IPS panel for $140. Nuff said.
