Answer
All in all it looks like a great PC,

Two things I would like to suggest to you.

1) The 660 is a very good card and can play most AAA games to date at max setting, but the best bang for your buck with Nvidia cards at the moment is the 660TI as it is very close to being the 670 in performance and when overclocked it is about equal to the 680, if you can spare the upgrade of the card, it would be a good investment on all counts to get the 660TI.

2) I noticed that you did not get the Intel Tuning program ( http://click.intel.com/tuningplan )
I recommend highly looking into getting it.I know that CyberPowerPC does good with their (All Venom OC Certified) but if you also get the Intel tuning program warranty,the warranty covers any damages to the CPU, the best part about it, is if you ever have to RMA your CPU back to Intel, they will replace the CPU for you, no questions asked. That is the best part of the warranty, no 3rd party (CyberPowerPC) to go through if anything ever happens to the cpu while being overclocked.

Just send the cpu to Intel directly and get a new cpu free of charge, a very fast and painless process.

Hope this helped you,
