Hello :hello:  this is my second time building a computer myself. I did some research on this forum and selected these parts for my next computer. Please take a look and give suggestions. Also..with this spec, how much I should get from default OC?

My Spec:
CPU: Intel 2500K- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

MOBO: ASUS P8p67 Deluxe - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Videocard: ASUS GTX570 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Cooling&Heatsink: Thermaltake Frio - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA750 750W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8gig DDR3 1600 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Computer Case: Rosewill ARMOR Gaming ATX mid tower http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

and probably a SSD and a Seagate HD

Any suggestion? or should I replace any parts for better OC and performance?

Thanks in advance!

Can save you some money.... go with the coolermaster 212 heatsink for $30, it performs better than the one you listed for half price.

Also check out Raidmax Quantum case, it's a great case for $45 shipped (after rebates)

I use the OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W on a similar system and have been nothing but happy with how well it performs for that price. ($50 after sale, rebate, and coupon)

Seagate HD's are junk... for a normal HD, Samsung Spinpoint f3 is generally considered best bang for your buck

cpu- good choice

mobo- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... the deluxe is a waste of money and p67's have problems with ssd's as boot drives

video card- http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-DisplayPort-PCI-Expr...

heatsink- http://www.frozencpu.com/products/11423/cpu-spi-28/Spir... this is a better cooler for a cheaper price

psu- will you sli?

ram- same

ssd- how much do you have to spend

hdd- this samsung drive is probably the faster than any seagate 1tb drive- http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Spinpoint-3-5-Inch-Intern...

thanks for the fast response. I will read more reviews on the mobo. I did some reading on the Frio, some say it is pretty good but I agree the price is a bit higher. I probably won't SLI, and the PSU is from my old system and I probably won't buy a new one. I use to have a 1TB samsung HD, but it has bad sectors without 6months, didn't bother to RMA because too much hassle that's why it gave me a bad rep on samsung HD.
