Planning on building a new desktop before the end of this year. Not sure if missed anything/skimped on something here. As you can see I'm aiming for a $2k budget (more or less is ok).

CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k LGA 1155 ($229.99)

Not sure if there is anything I missed. I have Windows 7 x64 from work. Will need a keyboard and mouse (thought I had a keyboard already, guess not). I also have an external USB 2.0 CDRW/DVDRW drive that I can use (might want an internal one though). Also thinking about an aftermarket cooler to keep this cool, maybe some extra fans although I thiink the case has plenty. Cable Management supplies?? Trying not to skimp on this PC as I want to be able to run anything I want on Max with no lag. Will be using this for school, gaming, software development, VM, work related projects, etc.
