Building another gaming computer, Need some reviews

[gambitd]

Hello, I'm looking to build another gaming computer. My budget is going to be at about roughly 1300~1400. The case I am getting is going to be for free(the best girlfriend ever is going to buy me the nzxt phantom 820.) This is strictly for gaming and web browsing. I'm just wonder if this build will be awesome or if any parts should be swapped off to something else.
I already have monitors, keyboard, mouse, and windows 7. So they are not needed.

Here's how it looks so far:

Looks great, but just make sure you live near a microcenter, as that deal on the cpu is in store pickup only. I especially love that case, so your girlfriend definitely sounds like a keeper.

You may want to consider a seasonic psu rather than that antec one, but the one you listed looks fine.

If it were me I'd get a cheaper case, CPU cooler, motherboard, etc and put the money saved into a more powerful GPU. I'm running a $50 antec case, $60 coolermaster H60, and a $120 motherboard and had no problem getting a 4.5GHz overclock out of my CPU. With a $1400 budget for a gaming PC you could easily put in a GTX 780 or SLI GTX 670's which would give you even better video performance than you already have.

My thoughts:

I would NOT go with the H100i - a Hyper 212 Evo or Xigmatek GAIA air solution will be more than enough (but might cause clearance issues with ram with large spreaders).
I personally don't like the ram with big spreaders - they serve no purpose; also IMO 1600mhz will be more than enough for gaming
Antec makes a good supply, but XFX (made by Seasonic), Seasonic can be found at better prices and IMO are better psu's.

I agree on the videocard part as posted by ehanger, get a bigger card and u will be happier with your rig's gaming power for a longer time. Also, what is important and missing from your post is the resolution u will be playing at, and if you are playing with more than 1 monitor.

Also, do not underestimate the need for a good power supply. I would buy a bigger one that will hold your system for a long time, as a PSU's power tends to degrade over time. I personally had a bad antec psu once, so i wouldn't recommend that brand.
