I put in a little bit less of a CPU and a better GPU. I didn't see a power supply listed though - what are you planning to use?

Sorry i forgot to include, but i think this is over priced for a power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703034&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

And about your build, i don't really like the case too much so i think i will stick with mine.

Yeah that's fine - case is a lot of personal preference. I include the HAF 912 because it's an excellent case for the price and has great air flow.
