I'm looking to buy a computer in the $1600 price range to be used mostly for forex programs such as StrategyQuant Pro which utilizes all processor cores and requires large amounts of ram, I would also like the option to use the system for gaming. It would be great if its quiet as well.
I have come up with a possible build and I am looking for any suggestions to the make the computer more faster and whether the hardware I have suggested would fit in the case?

I will be using Windows 8 Pro aswell, I didn't add it to the list because I already have it.
I didn't add a Hard Drive because space isn't a real issue for me, I only require a small amount at the moment.
I would like to run the computer 24/7 and I am unsure of a safe level for overclocking if I was to do this.
Thanks!
