I am buying a new computer and I am not an expert on picking parts and components, so I am looking for help. Here is what i picked out so far:

Power Supply
Corsair TX 750W ATX 12V v2.3 PSU, 80 Plus Bronze, Standard. 4x 6 +2- pin PCIe, 8x SATA, 140mm fan

Motherboard
MSI X79A-GD45 (8D), Socket-2011 ATX, X79, 8xDDR3, 3xG3+2xG2-PCIe-x16, CFX&SLI, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, UEFI

Processor
Intel Core i7-3930K Processor Socket-LGA2011, 6-Core, 3.2GHz, 12MB, 130W, Boxed, no fan included

RAM-Memory
Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1866MHz 8GB Beast 2x4GB KIT CL9 HyperX Beast

HDD
WD Desktop Black 2TB SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 64MB Cache, 7200RPM, 3.5", Dual processor
 
3930K is overkill for almost everything. You could save quite a bit of money by ditching the 3930K and the X79 board and instead going for an i7 4770K and a Z87 board. The 4770K is plenty powerful enough. If this is for gaming you could even get an i5 4670K with a Z87 board and be fine.

Rest looks fine. What case are you going for?
 
I might get the CM Storm Stryker Gaming Big Tower. And thx for the suggestion, i want to save as much money as possible!
