Poll: Help me Build A Gaming Rig

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

I have in mind to build my first gaming PC, however I have zero knowledge of what parts to get. Thankfully I have looked around and have decided on this build.

_____________________________________________
I am ready to get all of the parts except 2,

the SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3/120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III,

and the XIGMATEK AIO-S80DP Water Cooling.
_____________________________________________
The Kingston is out of stock, and the AIO-S80DP is discontinued and I cant find it anywhere.
Now my question is that are there any alternatives to these two, especially the Water Cooler. Because I can wait for the Kingston. BTW I have been using Newegg for my purchases, it is hailed as reliable.

Also will this be a good gaming Rig? I have asked if its reliable to others and they say yes, but I wan't a second opinion as well. Thanks!

Get an Intel SSD, as they're regarded as better quality than the one you selected. That or a Samsung 830 series. Either is good.

You don't need water cooling for your first build, and that system looks bad anyway, having the reservoir over the processor surely means that all the water will heat up to the same temperature anyway, and all cooling power will be lost.

If you're not planning on overclocking, the stock CPU cooler will be fine. Best air cooler on the market is the Noctua DH14. Yes it's a monster sized cooler, but it is the best out there. If you want to overclock (which I don't recommend for a first time build until you've done a lot of reading on the subject) you can push it to 4.5GHz comfortably on air alone, and the only thing that will beat this cooler is an open loop watercooling system, i.e. one that you put together yourself.

Aside from those two, everything else is pretty standard for a gaming build. Only thing I would say is change the RAM for something like this:

as it's cheaper than the one you selected, and it'll perform EXACTLY the same in almost all applications.

This rig is significantly better than mine and I have no trouble running Battlefield 3 on maximum settings in 1600x900 resolution so you will be fine with this.

Yeah, skip the water cooling. The only time you *ever* need a liquid cooled computer is if you're overclocking, and you probably don't want to do that on your first build. For coolers, I like Tuniq.

If you are dying to have liquid in there, go with one of those new self-contained systems. Less fuss, less muss, no mess.

If you're dropping this much on a computer, then up the ram. Your chosen motherboard can handle 32 gb of up to DDR3 1600 (without overclocking). I'd go with 16 GB, personally.

Honestly the brand of ram doesn't really matter too much unless you're paying way more for the top notch stuff (which isn't usually necessary). You just want to make sure that you don't mix RAM (sticks of RAM with different latency can handily crash your computer, so just to be on the safe side if you're going for a ram upgrade I'd say just replace it all at once).

650W PSU should be sufficent for this rig, maybe go with 700 to 850 if you find a good deal. One thing, I would really reccomend is to find a PSU with modular cabling. You can plug in only the ones you need. No needs for a 4-pin Molex? Then leave it out. This makes cable management way easier and thus improves airflow and cooling.

Also: Don't forget to factor in the cost of OS, keyboard, monitor, etc. when estimating your expenses. WIN7: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116992
