Hello all! I am building my first ever pc for gaming 1080p after using a laptop for many years, and would like to ask all your opinions about this build:

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ditto22/saved/2J79

I already own the case, mouse and keyboard.

Games i am going to play:
Tomb raider series
Starcraft 2
Diablo 3
Need for speed games
Dota 2
Anno 2014
Maybe battlefield 3-4
Online mmorpg's like Raiderz
and some minecraft

Edit: Also thinking about getting a Corsair H100i instead of the zalmann for twice the price (local), but am unsure how much cooler, quieter it would be and if i could put it in the case with the tubes inside/facing the 5.25 bays, won't have an internal optical drive so if they are inside it doesn't matter.

You don't need that many fans in a system. Plus, an OEM copy of windows 7 is bad. The key ties to your motherboard you installed in your system, meaning if you brick your motherboard, you won't be able to re-use that key, even if you buy the same board. With an OEM copy of windows 8 however, Microsoft has granted perks for system builders with OEM copies, meaning you can use the serial number on any aftermarket board, even if your one is bricked and is replaced with a different board of a different chipset or make and model. Here is a counter-build of the same price -

This is a silent, fast and frosty system for you. This is at the same price, runs about as cool and is faster. Hope you like it.

Thnx for your opinion, the thing is i already have the case, mouse and keyboard so no changing that, also doesnt the 4670 produce more heat?
I don't plan to oc so i thought watercooling wasn't needed and fans dont bother me :), only put 5 fans cause thats the number that fits the case and if i dont do something with the top fan spots then dust is a problem.

Also 16Gb of ram is overkill for me (so is 8 but thats more future proof) And where i live the Gtx770 is too much more expensive then th 760 (unfortunately). I don't know why but i rly got attached to corsair as a brand (except ram) but the psu seems very nice, are there any really strong pros with other psu's?
