Please give some feedback on my final set up for my PC. This is my first attempt of building a PC from scratch. The components are from Newegg with the exception of CPU which I will get from Microcenter. I already bought most of the components. I am only missing MOBO, CPU, and cooler. This pc is for MMORPG games and multi-application (anime, internet browsing, research, etc). Current monitor res is 1920 x 1080. I am planning to dual monitor.

I am still debating of upgrading the cooler to the Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler ($75 after MIR). I read the reviews and this equivalent to the water cooler. I think this will be worth the investment. With this cooler, I won't need to add any more case fans since the Corsair 800D came with 3 140mm fans. The total will be $1,437.91.
Please provide some input about the build. I am still unsure about the MOBO and cooler to go with the i7 Ivy Bridge.
Thanks.
