    Need some feedback on my new gaming rig

    Hey!

    So I'm finally at the point where I can invest in a new gaming rig (something I haven't done in some 10 years, felt like a complete noob learning about all the new stuff haha) and since I was completely out of the market for that long I'd like some feedback on the parts I've chosen, along with advice on what to change etc.
    This computer will be used exclusively for gaming at 1920x1080 with some mild overclocking and some streaming here and there, so please make your suggestions based on that, I'm not at all concerned with performance outside gaming.

    CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($169.99 @ Microcenter)
    CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.69 @ Outlet PC)
    Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V PRO ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($197.98 @ Amazon)
    Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($134.99 @ Newegg)
    Storage: Intel 330 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($139.98 @ SuperBiiz)
    Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($84.99 @ Adorama)
    Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Video Card ($659.99 @ Amazon)
    Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (Gunmetal/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($97.88 @ TigerDirect)
    Power Supply: Corsair Professional 750W 80 PLUS Silver Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($129.99 @ Newegg)
    Monitor: Asus VX238H 23.0" Monitor ($179.00 @ Amazon)
    Total: $1824.48

    Think that's it, let me know if I missed something!
    I *could* go a bit over the budget if that meant a significant difference but I'd like to keep it around these lines (which hurts enough as it is T_T).

    I'll probably end up waiting for haswell and get the "new" 3570k along with ASUS' z87 version for a motherboard, everything else is probably staying the same (save any changes made through this thread). Thanks in advance for any help provided

    Haswell is out next week and the GTX770 is out tomorrow. The motherboard is also OTT IMHO.
