Hey everyone!
I'm thinking about building a new rig pretty soon, since my current 'self built' computer can't keep up anymore. But since i lack the knowledge about the parts, i thought it would be best to check up with you guys first. So this is what I've come up with so far.

- Cooler Master HAF XM Midi Tower
-Corsair CX 750W PSU
-Corsair H80i Hydro Series
-Intel Core i5-4670K Socket-LGA1150
-Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast 8GB 2133MHz
-MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB lightning
-MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Socket-1150

By the way, is it possible to remove my old hard drive, and use it in my new rig?
I'm a little unsecure about my selection of Ram and CPU cooler. Also, my budget is around 1.584,48 - 1.760,54 USD. I don't do anything particular, besides gaming (No overclocking or HD editing etc.)
Leave your suggestions!
Edit: These items listed above is 1.602,62 USD in Denmark right now.

Why the HAF XM? It is not the best anymore, and you can get better. Check out Corsair's offerings. Make sure to check out Newegg and Microcenter for bundle deals, as they can save you up to $80.

Skip the Water cooling, wasteful. Buy a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO if you care about noise. If not, stick with the stock intel cooler, which is pretty decent.

Lightning GTX770 is for overclocking. Try the Gaming version (red) or Gigabyte's offering.

i7 isn't too helpful in gaming, go with i5, I'll dive into the tech if you want.

Finally, this PC is too good to waste for just gaming. Please check this out

Folding@Home is a "distributed computing" project. It lets users "donate" their unused computing power to help disease research in critical areas such as Cancer and Alzheimer's. Do the world, the future, and maybe you yourself some good by at least checking it out. Link here. http://folding.stanford.edu/

Moral things aside. Many performance enthusiasts love to compare how awesome their PC is by showing their points tally, or points per day capacity, for folding.
