Looks good, just a few things i would change though.

Dont bother with the GTX OC2 edition just get the standard one and clock it some.

Also maybe think about change the Memory to some of this:

It clocks to 1000MHZ+ very easily.

Last thing, maybe change them speakers to these:

I have had the Logitech Z10 and the Aegos. The Aegos are quite a bit better than the Z10. Well worth getting. Thats up to you though. :D
