1. Such a huge cooler is unnecessary.. Moreover, there are better performing alternatives available (such as the Corsair H50/70, Noctua NH-D14 etc.)..

2. Get a better PSU.. Brands like Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, XFX should be given first preference..

3. If you have future dual GPU plans then you need to get the P8P67 Pro..

4. Though it is more of a subjective choice, there are better cases available..

5. A 500 GB hard drive will not cost that much more..

You have a nice setup but why grab the V10, its quite heavy and tend to put more stress on your motherboard. There are other lighter and quite efficient heat dissipater cpu cooler out there like the hyper 212.
