It is good, but It doesn't even have an aftermarket cooler for the CPU on such overclocking, rich on features and expensive motherboard. You could also save some money, changing the power supply to a 650w. Unless you're planning to SLI. In which case, I would pick a gold certified PSU just to be safe.

anddd the HAF 932? You sure you want that case, is pretty huge. I own a Phantom 410 and a mid-tower is more than enough. I would recommend a Define R4 or a Arc Midi R2.

By the way, Is this a pre-built or you're building it yourself?
Also this PC might be good, but if the price is running at like $2000(lol), then is obviously crap (assuming is a pre-built). What's the price tag?

Brilliant build but the fact that you're getting recommended a 212 evo...

Liquid cooling or a hell of a lot better Air cooler such as a Phantek, definitely. Get something like the H100 or better and no, you don't NEED a Gold Certified Psu, it's not even necessary. The certification is generally based are efficiency so getting a Bronze would be just as good, get a modular XFX 650W or something along those lines, but I guess the current 750W is good enough!

as previously mentioned, you are gonna want more than a 212 evo on a Haswell. They tend to get toasty.
Look at the following;
Corsair H100i
"" H80i
NZXT Kraken X60
Phanteks PH-TC14PE
