not bad, just a couple of tips

if you are not overclocking, just get the normal i5 2500, there is no difference if not overclocking, and if you are overclocking, you should get the 1600MHz RAM

make sure to remove the free trials, they are pointless and will just slow down your new HDD

as Wozza's said, if you're not overclocking, you'll save money getting a plain i5-2500, you can also downgrade the cooling to triple copper if you want to save more, as the fenrir / watercoolers are more meant for overclocked cpus and their increased heat outputs.

your monitor will come with a DVI- cable in the box, so unless you want a spare you won't need to order one seperately.

other than that looks solid.
