Hi everyone i want to build a new gaming rig and would like some advice on what parts i should use. I am in Australia so it will be quite expensive, there a 2 local shops and 1 online store that i am going to source my parts from. I already have a CPU cooler but plan to upgrade to water cooling in this build. I don't need keyboard, mouse or monitor.

http://www.austin.net.au/- Local.
http://pccasegear.com/- Online so cannot ship big or heavy items, case etc.
Here is the list of the parts and i am planning to use:
CPU: Intel 17 2600k $335
Motherboard: Asrock Z68 EXTREME4 GEN3 $179
Graphics: XFX HD6950 2gb $289
Memory: G.SKILL 8GB KIT DDR3 RIPJAWS C9 2000MHZ $159
Optical: LG BLU-RAY 10X WRITER $105
Storage: CORSAIR FORCE 3 60GB $ 125 and Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB $129
Case: Corsair Obsidian 650D $235 Total: $ 1706
Power Supply: don't know probably about a $150 model with adequate cooling and a choice to upgrade in the future and it needs to be modular
Is there any way to improve this list with out making it more expensive.
Thanks.
