Nice build.
- What case?
- I'm not a fan of the hX0 coolers, but why not get the h70 if you're going that route?
- Also for that build I'd be tempted to look at the maximus iv when it comes out again rather than the p8p67

Intel i7 2600k - Unless you are doing animation, intensive encoding/editing, get the 2500k and save $100

ASUS P8P67 PRO - Go Sabertooth or Deluxe

CORSAIR Professional Series AX750 - Good

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) - What frequency? I would suppose 1600. Most people would also say 8GB is overkill, and to just stick with 4GB. Personally, I have 8, because I need 8 at times. You could save some cash and step down to 4 if you want.

Intel 320 Series SSDSA2CW120G3K5 2.5 - Can't comment on Intel SSD's, never used them

EVGA SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580 - Good

CORSAIR CWCH60 Hydro Series H60 - I'd scratch this and get a Noctua NH-D14

Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM - Save some cash and get a Spinpoint F3 1TB

I've always been a WD fan (still am actually) but i saw many folkd raving about the F3's so i decided to givem a go, also got them on sale for $55 each with free shipping, at the time was way much cheaper than the WD

If you decide to go with a Noctua NH-D14 be sure to check for compatiable memory clearance and also have a wide case as this bad boy is BIG!

Example of NH-D14
