I plan to buy it off cyberpower(or convince me to build it myself)

Alright the parts:

CD:24X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive

CASE:NZXT M59 Gaming Mid-Tower

CPU:Intel® Core" i5-760 2.80 GHz

FAN:Asetek 510LC Liquid Cooling System 120MM Radiator & Fan

MEMORY:4GB (2GBx2) DDR3

MOTHERBOARD: GigaByte GA-P55A-UD3 Intel P55

POWERSUPPLY: 750 Watts - Corsair CMPSU-750TX

VIDEO:ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5

HDD:500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s
 
You have no need for a liquid cooling system. If you insist then at least get the much better Corsair H50. A good 120mm tower cooler will let you overclock an i5 as much as is safe anyway.

A 5770 only needs a 450W PSU (550 for crossfire).

No idea if the RAM and HDD are good or junk since there are no model#s given.

The CPU, motherboard and PSU are good quality.
 
A few things u should know about SATA/USB 3.0 tech and mobos as shown by our very own forums here
USB 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, Motherboards, And Overcoming Bottlenecks

Also note that LGA 1156 shall be usurped by LGA 1155 as soon as end of this year/possible Q1 next year if u intending to sink a wee bit on chip + board FYI...

I will convince u to ditch the Cyberpower idea, stick to air cooling, DIY and hit a superior GPU for instant/best gaing for games
