Y'all here helped me back in picking parts for my ~$2000 build, so I went with something similar to what I was given. However I changed it up a bit because of the huge price gaps between US and Norway.

Current build: http://puu.sh/2MgAA.png (+Razer Deathadder)

just want to confirm that there's nothing I can easily do better before I order tomorrow. (weekend sale)

I would suggest the ASUS VG248QE (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313&Tpk=144hz&IsVirtualParent=1) over the BenQ, but that's it from me.

I believe the 2411T and the VG248QE actually use the same panel. Supposedly the colors on the BenQ are better out of the box. The Asus is cheaper in US, BenQ is cheaper in Europe.

If you're getting a decent z77 motherboard and watercooling, it's a waste to go for the 3770(no k). I'd recommend getting a 3770k for a couple dollars more so you can overclock.

Looks like a pretty decent build, but I would suggest getting a smaller second hard drive to use as a main, likely an SSD, and use the 2TB for storage. I would also highly suggest a mechanical keyboard, although thats optional. A tenkeyless mech board gives you a ton more room (and is a pleasure to us), and you can buy a cheap USB numpad to go with it if you really want a numpad to punch numbers on.

Good build, but the sidewinder is a lame keyboard and I think an SSD would be justified in any 2000 dollar build. I don't know how good of an idea it is for a newbie builder to be buying a watercooling system either, but I've never dealt with it so I don't know how simple it is. actually spend some time looking at filco/daskeyboards/ducky and see if there is anything cool you like about them.

I'd change the GTX 680 with HD 7970, because of the new drivers it's faster on most of the games, overclocks nicely AND it's actually cheaper, the 3 GB version costs 3299 NOK, if you're running multiple displays the 6 GB version costs 4499 NOK.
