My $3200 PC build.Thoughts?

Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

So, im buiding a PC and it's my first Personal build but i have built computers for my buddies before so i know how to build one myself.

Anyway, my build is strictly for PC gaming and i'll be overclocking my CPU and GPU

So this is what i'll be probably getting.

NOTE, i live in singapore so the prices will be in my currency not USD :)

Processor: Intel Core i7 3770K 

Motherboard: Asus Maximus V Extreme 

GPU: ASUS GTX680 Direct CU2 TOP 

PSU: Corsair AX1200i 1200W 

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100 

Windows 7 Home Premium: S$127

Memory(SSD): ADATA XPG SX900 256GB SSD 

Memory(HDD):Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 

Optical Drive: Asus Black CD-ROM Internal Blu-Ray Drive

Case:Corsair 800D 

RAM:Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB(2x8GB) DDR3

 

Total is just under $3200 when i order from Amazon and converted to Singapore dollars (SGD)

 

So what do you guys think about this build? 

PS: I'm going to get a second Asus GTX680 in about 2 months after this build and do a SLI in my Rig.

Do you guys have any opinions on my components that i should switch out for better performance?

It looks fine to me but if you wanted you could swap out your GPU for a more cheaper AMD option with the same performance. Also, unless you are gonna be crossfiring or Sli'ing you dont need that much power (i think) calculate it with this: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp 

Also, this motherboard is absoletely great but possibly too spectacular for you or anyone else but serious overclockers.

Yeah, the new AMD Drivers are great! You could always look into that. as an option, and as Bald said, scale back some on the Mobo and PSU some. That way you can save some serious Cash, or spring for more things like another HDD, and id say get better fans for the h100, maybe, ive heard the stock are quiet noisey.

get win7 pro, can handle more ram.... switch to an i5, games don't use the HT, and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT GET AN H100. at that price, you might as well liquid cool everything... get a radeon hd 7990 from somewhere

Alright guys thanks lots! I'll take your opinions into account :) Thanks!

The new H100i is actually quite great in my opinion. May want to take a look at that.
