My last post was about a 1500$ pc build i recently have come into some extra, extra money and i'm able to afford a 2200-2500 gaming pc. I think ive made a pretty good build here http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Sgx0. My problems are that 1. I have no experience on how to choose a way of cooling this computer. 2. i can decide what video cards to get.
(Also i have nothing for those that ask everything is needed except a mouse.)

Thx in advance

i7-3770k: not needed if just for gaming, i5-3570k will suffice. But its your money, spend it how you want to.

GPU: Go from SLI 660's to just one 680. One card is always preferable to two.

PSU: If you stay with the SLI'd 660's I would recommend going up to 850w bronze (some say you'll be fine with what you have, this is my opinion)

Cooling: Do you want air or water cooled? If you are doing moderate overclocks than an aircooled hyper 212 evo will do just fine. If you want watercooled for higher overclocks than the corsair H100 is a good reliable unit.

Mouse: Well my friend this is something we cant really recommend (and I would hesitate to listen to others recommendations). It all has to do with what is comfortable as far as weight, feel, functonality, price...etc. My recommendation would be to go to the nearest computer store and see if there are any you can just get a feel for.
