If you're not going to microcenter for the cpu+mobo combo, you're doing it wrong.

You can cut that price down dramatically.

16 gigs of ram is just overkill right now, 8 should be plenty.

Same thing with the video card. Go with a GTX660, which should be plenty but half the price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...D=3938566&SID=

You're spending a ridiculous amount on case fans.

As for the Harddrive, why not a hybrid SSHD? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...81&ignorebbr=1

I'd chop that build to under 1k and save some money for some upgrades down the road instead.
