I have finally got enough money for this rig and I was wondering if anything I should change. I will be doing long gaming sessions, I program a lot, Want to get into after effects, and do some serious overclocking on processor and take it a little slower with graphics card.

So help me out guys

NOTE: I understand some of these part are overkill for there job but keep in mind i also want it to look as good as possible and keep the theme red/black, if you find something ridiculous its probably because of its look i chose it. Thanks!
