Hey jsp!

I have spent much time doing research in putting together the best gaming system for about 2000$. I want to play games with very high quality. I have got to the point to where I think I have selected the best choices and cant seem to find any other options. I am making this post for constructive criticism or simply a thumbs up. This computer will be purchased the begging on February. As of right now the only thing that might change is my GPU, to the new nvidias which are expected to release at the end of this month. Thanks for taking the time to look at my build and feel free to comment.

oh and as for ram. Avexir Core Series 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24 1.5V Red LED Dual Channel Memory Kit - Black

i was going for a look almost identical to http://pcpartpicker.com/b/m9yfrH . also for the monitor do you have more info on the asus? i thought
Display Colors 16700000
Brightness 350 cd/m²
Contrast Ratio 100,000,000:1
Response Time 1 ms
Refresh Rate 144Hz
was good?

also look at the stats on those fans and look at mine. also why would i get that cooler foro the looks? have you seen the nzxt? plus it would match my box.
