Wait, did you already buy these parts or is this just a plan?
 
oh i remember u danny from... long time ago or am i mistaken?

its my plan i already got the i7 2600k, samsung 830, samsung 1333 30nm ram's,

my old parts are hx1000, samsung f3 hdds, wd hdd, gtx 280

what im missing is just the case, mobo, cooler.
 
Amateur hour (me)
I7 2600K is over kill for gaming, so unless you need the threads go I5 2500k.
Corsair 660T or 400R is pobably all you need, though H100 may not fit, see customer reviews.
Good air cooling is easier than the H100.
Power supply?
 
So the Hw100 is an HX1000 PSU, OK'.
Cooler still needed Noctua NH-D14 or ..
 
i use i7 2600k for adobe photoshop, and ae. I also will be using it for maya, 3dsmax, and etc. my psu is the corsair hx1000

i plan to get the corsair 800d for looks as well as the corsair h100.. =] the only thing im really missing is the mobo.. i will probably upgrade the gfx later down the road maybe in a month
 
In that case enjoy, looks all covered,, only the case is too big for me.

Motherboards past the $200 about and above are a matter of features and appearance.
Asus is reputed much easier to deal with RMA with ROG boards.
Gigabyte is good.
Maximus is one of "the" go to boards.
 
If I were you I'd downgrade the case to a 650D (similar looks) and the cooler to a H80 (smaller, not much performance difference) and save up for a better GPU than a GTX 570.
