You might want to get windows 7 pro or ultimate because it has more features and if you want to upgrade more than 16gb windows premium won't allow you to use it. You might also want to think about upgrading to a dual monitor setup. It will allow you to be a lot more efficient. But besides that, it's a good build.

You don't need that cooler for your CPU since you are not overclocking it. You could grab a much cheaper air cooler if you are looking for a quieter cpu cooler compared to the stock.

The Corsair RM uses some cheap secondary capacitors so I wouldn't recommend it, especially for that price.
Here are good alternatives:

Power Supply: EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($99.99 @ NCIX US)
-10 yr warranty, highly reviewed, gold fully modular. OEM is Superflower (Only get the G2 version like the one linked).

Power Supply: SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($85.98 @ SuperBiiz)
-Seasonic made, semi modular, gold rated. Seasonic is known for their quiet power supplies one of the best manufacturuers

Power Supply: XFX XTR 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($109.99 @ Amazon)
-Gold rated, fully modular, OEM is Seasonic

The EVGA's 750w is definitely overkill but the power supply will only draw what your system needs so there would be no disadvantage to using it.

This guy is right. I would recommend the first one if you are looking to maybe add in another GPU. It will also better in the long run if you decide to use it in your next build. If you are only looking for something that would be good for this build with no big upgrades go with the second one.

i understand about the cooler, but id like to keep it in the build. i want a silent build, yes i can achieve that with the evo 212 with some silent corsair fans.

the power supply, ive never had a problem with the rm series but ive always had an rm850 or more in the builds before. but i will change it to the evga 650w one i see.

no more than 16gb is needed so home is the correct choice for o.s.

i will be adding another monitor, the monitor in the list is more for the price holder.... i will be looking for a couple of used 23 for this build but still needed the price included in the 1500. same as with the keyboard...gonna just get a cheap one as i dont need any thing special.
