So, I'm building a gaming computer. I've been talking with the good folks on Tom's hardware and got a build that I like quite a bit. So, I'm just fishing for extra opinions on this build.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor [http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80637i53570k] ($169.99 @ Microcenter)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler [http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2] ($26.82 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard [http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz77xud5h] ($179.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory [http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cml8gx3m2a1600c9] ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive [http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st2000dm001] ($88.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: OCZ Vertex 4 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk [http://pcpartpicker.com/part/ocz-internal-hard-drive-vtx425sat3128g] ($99.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card [http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvn670wf22gd] ($376.97 @ Newegg)

Power Supply: Corsair Professional 750W 80 PLUS Silver Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply [http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cmpsu750hx] ($109.99 @ NCIX US)
Optical Drive: LITE-ON Black 12X BD-ROM [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106451] ($79.99 @ Newegg)
It comes to about $1300, which is about $100-$200 less than I was planning on spending, but I'm good with it. Any areas I could improve upon with this build?
(If anyone is wondering, I already have the OS taken care of)
