The CPU you purchased is the liquid cooled version. You could get by much better (and cheaper) with getting the same 8150 and getting an H-100 or H-60 to cool it with the same effect, much cheaper cost. Just a thought. Otherwise, nice setup!

It really depends on what he is doing, if he is gaming, Spending $2K on a FX-8150 system is an absolute waste, especially when you can get a faster i5 system for less.
$1600 i5 system (Click to show)
Also, depending on the games that are played, a GTX 670 would be better.
512GB SSD is a waste, a SSD is meant for speed, making things faster. Get a 500GB+ HDD and a 128GB SSD.
16GB of RAM is a waste
750W is a severely overkill, you can run xfire 7970s or SLI 680s on that

To be honest, for the price, an Intel setup would make more sense gaming-wise.

No point in potentially bottlenecking your gpu or not getting the most out of it when your budget is $2k.

I have to agree here. It's not a matter of being a "fanboy" it's a matter of Intel being better than AMD right now at that price point. Simple as that. Not sure why someone suggesting that is berated for being a "fanboy," that just sounds incredibly childish. If I whipped up a $2k AMD system and someone showed me how I could get markedly improved performance all-around for three quarters the price, I would be very grateful. Not everything is a AMD vs Intel debate war.

Great build. 8/10
Only things I could suggest changing are:
1) Get the FX 8120 (usually for around $200 or less. Has the same potential as the 8150, unless you are going for 8Ghz + under L2N)
2) The FX Processors like high Ram Speeds. So get a decent 1866Mhz kit. GSkillz or something
3) Have you heard of the Catleap Monitors?
4) I don't recommend using the Stock CPU cooler, it's noisy. It cools good, but not great.
