Hey guys, I'm planning to get my first gaming rig. Before I do, I just want to make sure that I have the best parts that go along with each other so that there will be no bottlenecking issues and such. Here's what I have managed to come up with based on hours of research to make up for my lack of personal experience.

So anyways, here are my components:

NZXT Phantom 410 Mid-Tower Case (Red)

Intel i5 3570K

AS Rock Z77 Extreme4 ATX 1155 Motherboard

Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 Classified

Samsung 750 GB SSD

Corsair Vengence Pro 16 GB RAM

Corsair CX 750 Watt Power Supply (Please tell me if this is enough power)

Corsair Air Series High Performance Twin Pack Fan

Corsair Hydro Series Extreme Performance

Asus Black 12X Internal Blu-Ray Drive

Arctic Silver 5 - 3.5 grams

Creative Sound Blaster Z Sound Card

TP-Link PCI Express Network Adapter

I live in a country where these resources are not available. I will be buying these when I visit the U.S. Therefore, I need to make sure this will last, and I am interested in overclocking, which is why I went with a water cooling cpu cooler. Please give as much advice as possible to a beginner like me. Thank you.
 
The response time mattering depends on the quality of the panel and other technologies included in it such as all the hyped up 'anti-ghosting' stuff etc etc. But the lower the response time, the better for gaming. You see a lot of 2ms-5ms panels as the most popular for a gaming-specific build.
 
hey guys im in a bit of a dilemma here. not sure to go with the cm storm quickfire tk or the logitech g710+. i want cherry mx browns, with color backlighting and macros. what keyboard would be best for me. please give me suggestions. also, I do like the g710+, but i am not in favor of the color scheme. I want something like the g710+ with macros, cherry mx browns, media keys, and about the same price or lower.
