What exactly is this going to be used for? It's useless for gaming, and pretty weird for anything else as well.

Is this a custom built as in you're building it yourself, or "custom built" as in someone's building it for you? I highly, HIGHLY recommend you do a bit of research and build it yourself. Yes, it'll take longer to learn what you want to buy, but you should do that anyways, so you don't get a crap computer.

1. you should go for an i73770k instead of the 3820, its just no worth the money.
2. an aftermarket cooler would be a good idea, the hyper 212 evo is powerful and cheap
3. if you want to game, you should be spending another couple of hundred dollars on a decent GPU
4. why do you need a network card? your motherboard will come with gigabit ethernet

a) that motherboard is incompatible with that CPU

b)if this is a gaming build, stick with an i5-3570K. rendering, video/image editing, VMs, etc. consider a 3770K. a 3570K is still a good choice as well.

c)ram; 8gb for gaming. 8gb is still doable beyond gaming, but feel free to grab more if you got a used for it.

d)GPU; fine for general usage. crap for games. you should be able to spend on a 670/7970 for the purpose of gaming with that budget.

e) you don't need a sound card, not unless you're a massive audiophile, or have a professional use for it.

f)for your budget, find a better quality PSU. i recommend a tier 2b at least from this list; http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx . 700-750w if you're looking to get a second high-end card. 550-650w if you're sticking with one
