Final Specs [LINK]
I shall call her...I don't know, halp?
Shut up about Windows 8, I like it, so fuck off.
It's 95% done...just need small stuff like Mouse, keyboard, and OS...

Uh, I might wanna be a bit careful about the WD hard drive. They have a habit of corrupting somehow as time moves on.

Hey, I heard gigabyte stepped up their quality with the newer mobos but I recommend getting the next version up in that z77 line http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128545 , you get a few more bells and whistles for 30 usd more or w/e.. i think worth it as mobo is what everythings built off of.
Also, if you are goin with a graphics that costs that much, might as well go with the latest line.. only 80 more bux w/e http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130768 or go with something cheaper from the 500 series.. or even amd ati card.
Should have enough room in the case you chose.. seems like decent case.
Question is, are you planning on dual or tri sli? if not you could easily get away with a 750watt psu, maybe 850 just to be sure with that fermi card. If you are planning to tho, that 1200 psu looks really nice, gold so high efficiency etc. Plus its modular so that's nice, and it also claims a 98amp 12v rail so.. that's ample quality power to your components.
For the cooling unit for the processor, i would go a step up with the evo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099 you want something that can be reliable over time and decent bang for buck.. plus i heard latest i7 line runs hotish.
And damn, nice cpu.. wish i had a build with that xD
For ram, you can get the same performance while using less voltage.. 1.5V less.. which can save you some heat probably. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314 and its a little cheaper! :)
Also, just a small note.. you don't really need a mic if you get a headset.. as it has one included.. difference between headset and headphones + mic
Edit:// Oh and i forgot the harddrives, this normally becomes the performance bottle neck for new systems.. you might want to invest into maybe raid0 with 10krpm western ditigal raptors.. or even do a ssd for the OS and that wd drive for storage and programs.. but yea that'll be where you'll want your first upgrades if you don't end up changing it when building.

Why so much power? A good Seasonic 620W or Corsair AX650W will be more than enough for this system.
Seems like you're going to overclock your CPU so you should get a proper heatsink. Since you'll have spare money 'cause of the PSU you can get a Noctua NH-D14, which leads me to suggest you to change the case to this one - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352010 It's also better and the big NH-D14 will deffinately fit inside.
Also found a cheaper RAM with better overclocking headroom (lower voltage) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
I also suggest you get a GTX 670 instead of a 580, because it's stronger, takes less power, newer and costs cheaper/the same. If you're going to overclock, this version would be the best - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127685
If not then this one (Which will also be a good overclocker) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125423
If you have money left I also advise you get an SSD. Even 64GB would be an improvement.
@Coolz - If he ain't gonna do SLI he won't really need a UD5 board. GTX 680 is just about 5-7% better and costs more.
If he's planning on doing SLI it's true that he'll need a good, minimum 750W PSU.

I brake headsets easily, so I prefer desktop mics.
But Damn, I wasnt expecting all this info, but it still helped!
Thanks.
