Depending on what you plan to do with it..

If your primary goal is a gaming computer, 2700k is an unnecessary expense as it offers absolutely no advantage over a 2500k in performance.

The money you could save would allow you to get some more RAM. 4GB is barely makin' it these days.

Other than that, yea its a pretty nice build.

I'd also put the difference into a bit more into the PSU - judging by the choice of the 7950 I'm guessing it's a gaming build. Go for this as your PSU:

As for case choice I'd be far inclined to recommend this over the Antec 900 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Actually wanted to get the Cooler Master CM690II Advanced Case (With window on side panel).
I like fancy cases with windows to add lights (modding).

Computer is for gaming, yea, im going to go for i5 2550k with the new GTX 680 instead of the HD 7950.
And i'm obliged to keep my 4GB of ram as i will be using w7 32bit (which only supports ~3.5GB)

The CM 690II is a good choice but it's quite a bit outdated. Maybe try the Antec 1100 - it meets all your requirements and has better cable management: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

But don't get the 2550K - it's just a 2500K with a slightly faster clock and no onboard video.
