Hi I am planning on ordering a computer from cyberpowerpc soon and I was hoping some of you could give me advice on what I have selected. I know it would be cheaper to build it myself but I prefer to just spend the extra money in knowing that ill have the security that it will all be in working order. Also this is my first time doing this...
Here is a link to the build:

This computer will be mainly for gaming and browsing the internet. The type of games I play are Dayz, Battlefield, online mmos, skyrim etc. I'm also interested in playing the upcoming star citizen.
Some of my questions are will this build be able to play most games maxed out for years to come?
Is there a better case I can choose?
Would I get any improvements for buying the I7 over the I5 or am I just wasting $100 on it? Also would getting the I7 help to future proof my machine?
Will the antenna for the (802.11b/g/n 300 Mbps Wireless Card + External 2.4G 5 Dbi Omni-Directional Wireless Antenna) help increase my wireless connection or am I just as good with getting the (02.11b/g/n 300Mbps PCI Wireless Adapter Network Card) and saving 13$?
The hardest part I had was picking out the motherboard so is the one I have good for what I need?
Should I have less ram and if I decide to keep the 16gigs should I get the cheaper option?
For the Cpu cooling fan I picked Corsair Hydro Series H60 High Performance Liquid Cooling System 120MM Radiator & Fan. Would it be worth it to upgrade it to a higher quality one for the 30-40 more dollars. Also will my system have sufficient cooling with what I have selected or do I need to increase the cooling?
Windows 7 or Windows 8? I like Windows 7 layout but does Windows 8 offer any worthwhile performance over Windows 7?
For my power supply did I over do it? How much wattage do I need for my machine?
And for the last question of the long list ha what do you think I should do different/change/remove or add?
Thank you for your time and help! Much appreciated!
