scrap the keyboard/mouse , 670 is good but not much better then a 660 ti if your comparing how close the price is now.get a psu of at least 600watt or around that 670 will run but if you got a 680/690 your gonna need at least that cpu is fine at clock speed and has turbo boost if needed it will auto overclock so get rid of the liquid cooler the stock fan is made to keep it in safe levels even if intel turbo boost kicks in for how long idk but games are not gonna kick it to 3.90ghz or near that

Don't listen to the person above regarding the CPU :p

That CPU is great for overclocking. You should be able to get 4.5GHz before you hit a heat barrier with that CPU cooler. The stock fan is utter crap for overclocking.

I'd suggest getting a decent 80+ Bronze modular PSU if possible. You should only need about 600Watts, however if you have the money I'd suggest getting a 750W PSU for more overclocking headroom and better longevity of the components themselves. And last but not least, get a 7970 and call it quits. It's better than the 670 and is pretty much equal to the 680. Here is a link:

If you want to shave a few bucks, get the 7950. It's a great GPU that has a lot of overclocking potential.

You'd also need a CD Drive of some sort to Install Windows. You don't really have to buy Windows, as you can just torrent a copy.

thank you very much, also would you recommend using a liquid cooler or are they a bit risky ?

They are not risky at all really. If the pump works when you take it out it's most likely not going to fail. Even if the pump fails the computer will shut down after the CPU reaches like 95 degrees or whatever to prevent damage being done to it.

I'm assuming you are scared of the liquid falling on the components. I'll tell you that even if they do get on the components (which is extremely unlikely to actually happen) you should yank the power from the computer as fast as possible and use compressed air to dry it up. You should then buy some 90% alcohol to rinse the motherboard on the places that the coolant fell.

Now, I have to tell you right now, that the chances of this happening, is EXTREMELY unlikely. The pump might fail, but the tubes will NEVER burst randomly without warning. Check your unit for leaks when you get it, and if there's none, you are good to go. The things I told you about above were just a precaution. These are very safe coolers, and provide excellent cooling.
