-you will want a i7 equivalent to get more CPU horsepower
-you will want matched sets of ram to prevent non-compatability
-if you are planning to use raid 1, its not safe enough. if you are planning to use raid 0, go get yourself a SSD instead
-SSDs are necessary for fast boots and loading times
-you will want a much more powerful GPU to effectively use CUDA for software development
-way better case. but then if you want to save money, go to the site and pick out the corsair 300R
-liquid coolers are a joke and you dont need one since you cant overclock
-cheaper model of the same monitor
