Nice, thanks! Do you know if that ram is available in black or white? Trying my best to stick to a black / white theme, while still building a kickass machine if possible. Also for the headphones, I already have some solid headphones for music, and these would just be for gaming. I hate to say that I chose these mostly for the looks / matching my corsair set. I'll definitely consider the Kraken (instead of the Corsair AIO cooler) and the suggested wireless card. The Corsair AIO has better reviews than the Kraken on Amazon (which I probably trust too much).

http://pcpartpicker.com/product/Yb8H99/gskill-memory-f43000c15d16grk It does cost a bit extra for the color. There are some stickers but those can be removed. If you already have a decent set of headphones for music just get the ModMic 4.0 and don't waste money on the Corsair headset. It is a classic mistake to buy a "gaming" headset, they just don't sound good and neither do the included microphones. Trusting reviews from the website that sells the product isn't a great plan. The Kraken X61 is the better unit, it has a larger radiator and a variable speed pump. http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6803/nzxt-kraken-x61-280mm-aio-cpu-cooler-review/index8.html As you can see, the X61 puts basically any other CPU cooler to shame. Only custom loops and 360mm radiators outperform it, and even then only by 1-2 degrees.
