New computer please provide feedback

[Tabby]

I am planning on purchasing a computer though Cyberpower because I can customize a computer like I want it, and the thought of building one myself gives me the shakes. I could never! I scrapbook so I scan a lot of picture and use Adobe software. I also do some 3D gaming. Based on some of your suggestions I have changed some things. Please give me your opinion and make suggestions. I want to choose the best computer for my needs. Thanks. Here is what I have currently chosen:

quite a balanced system but maybe you would want a tri / quad core cpu instead of a dual core i3?

given that you're not overclocking, and you're only using an i3, you would definitely not need the thor's hammer! the stock cooler is more than enough.

your 750w power supply is also a total waste!
your system will never use more than 450w.

this price (# _PRICE: (+1179)) is ridiculously high though, i built my own with i5-750 and 5770 with a similarly priced motherboard and a 750w psu (i would crossfire later) but mine was only $750

Look into a larger monitor. 22" and you'll be happy.
