I am building a gaming PC. I have finally chosen all the parts and I want to get a final opinion before jumping in.

Notes:
-All the items marked as "purchased" are things I already have now, so they aren't going to change any time soon.
-My budget for the things I haven't bought yet is US $350. This is already pushing it a bit, so please keep that in mind

Good, However that Cpu cooler is quite overkill and a caviar blue is good enough aswell,
