Get i5 and save around $100
The Samsung Evo is good too and it's new. Not worth the extra $32 for a puny 8GB extra in storage
Spend a bit more on graphics and grab a R9-290
Keyboard and headset are overpriced and there is no need to spend that much on it.

Well i find the gtx 770 to be really weak for a 2000$ build, get at least a r9 290, also i dont like "gaming headsets" youre better with some good sennheisers.

P.D: Personally i would go nvidia 3d vision, but thats me, im a really 3d guy

This, with 2K you should be able to get a R9 290.
