Really nice system. I know your SSD is only for your OS, but that is cutting it close. Mine is just about 40gb with OS only. There won't be any games you want on the SSD? Granted, it doesn't help gameplay, but the load times are SO much faster. I put most of my games on the HDD, but the 1 or 2 games I play the most I keep on the SSD until I get bored of them, then back to the HDD dungeon!

Right off the bat you're wasting over $200 on stuff that's completely worthless. The extra case fans you don't purchase until you have your case in your possession. The thermal compound and cleaner are also wastes of money as your cooler will come with thermal compound that's better than what you selected. The sound card is also a waste of money. Drop these things and invest the difference in upgrading your SSD and maybe upgrading your GPU to a GTX 780.

You would be disappointed with OCing on Haswell though , get a i5-3570K if you really want to OC -

Since you purchased the case , I choose it. If you didn't , please get another one , The HAF XM is crap for the money.

These are both pretty decent builds but extra thermal compound is a complete waste of money, especially when a cooler like the Swiftech Edge includes paste that's made specifically for water cooling.

Wait , the H220 includes Thermal paste , didn't know that , you may drop the paste than :p
Thanks for clearing my misunderstanding , else I would have kept suggesting the MX-4 to the H220 , LOL.
