Hey I am building up my first gaming PC. Now I know most people say buy your own parts and build it yourself, it is cheaper than any place online. I have been looking around newegg and a few other places, but it seems like cyberpower is winning (newegg ~$1000 while cyberpower (with extra stuff like wireless, cooling fans, better power supply, blu ray player, cheap shit keyboard, mouse, headset) ~$980 . I am trying to do a mid-line gaming system that essentially gives the best bang for the buck and will hopefully last about 2 years. I also want to have a descent setup to cannibalize some components later, so then I do not have to go to a place like cyberpower again.

This is the build, thoughts?

That builds fine. Don't expect the PC to be future proof since any part can become obsolete at any time. But for now it looks like you could at least run any game at close to max setting at 1080p. If this is for gaming you don't need 1866 Ram so do not spend more on that. Are you going to overclock the CPU? (The liquid cooler would tell me you are, but the page says no OC(I know it means that OCing it will void there warranty)) but if not grab a non K version.
