What's about a CPU cooler or Case fans? And which PSU will you use?

Is this for gaming? then you can do better

Is the Sound card necessary? onboard sound on current motherboards are pretty high quality and chances are that you won't notice a difference unless you are doing professional audio tasks.

You may want to get a current generation CPU, as the i7-2600k is outdated by now and its price hasn't really dropped.

Finally, you didn't listed a PSU, which is critical in any build and definitely a piece of a computer you don't want to skimp on.

That said, you can use this as a suggestion:

Thanks for the suggestion. So is it cheaper to get a site like pcpickerpart to build it for you, or for you to do it for youself?

PcPartPicker isn't a store, is an application that keeps tracks of component prices to help you get your stuff in the place that has it at the lower place.
