You did a mistake or what ? 2500 non K ?
Because if you want to overclock you need the 2500k.
The build looks great.

okay next question how far do you plan on OCing your cpu?

 

[kcsmacker]

The h60 is really not that great of a cooler for liquid cooling. A good Air cooler will give you good if not better temps then the H60. For a bit more you can get a

This outcools everything but good custom loops.

If you want something more budget friendly you can get a Hyper 212

but if you can get that noctua, you will love the overclocking headroom with it.

Only thing with that cooler is that you need a low profile ram set but they are the same price as yours.

Thats my two cents, hope it gives you more options ^_^

ya, first - you said 'Yes' to overclocking - so you need to get the 'K' unlocked version:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
- Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz: $225

second - the Corsair Carbide 400R has 2 x USB3.0 front ports with a direct motherboard connector... and that ASRock lacks it.. so have a look at this ASRock:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157265
- ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0: $170

or this Gigabyte:

- GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0: $150

rest of the system looks good
