    Really? None about the hardware, per se.
    Did you find gold in your back yard?
    This is going to be a long term investment. - Right?
    Have you thought about buying some kind of warranty?
    With a high-end home build like this, you have to pay extra for warranty .
    Have you talked to the vendor about this?
    There is a way to do that, here in the USA.
    It has been posted a number of times on Tom's Hardware.
    Here is one such post.

    Hope that helps.  :)

      All those parts will work great together.

      The only part I would change would be the power supply, while the one you picked isn't a bad unit by any means, it's fairly low end as far as Corsair go, and you won't need anywhere near 750w.  I'd recommend something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207031 - Better quality unit than the Corsair CX, is 650w which will still give loads of room for expansion down the line and is still modular.

      You can safely ignore what Geek-9pm said about the warranty, you are correct that all components come with their own warranties, you don't need to buy anything else.

      Not true, as said above, all parts come with warranties, you do not need to pay anything extra!  If you had actually read the thread that you linked you would have found that it does not mention paying extra for warranties, it refers to registering your purchase with the manufacturer of the component which, in some cases, is required to get warranty service.

        thank you for help
        I am still confused about the power supply capacity, this one looks fine but its hard to understand, it will be 650w enough for sure? even with future sli, ram upgrade, extra fans, cooling stuff (who knows)???

        650w is way more than enough for a machine like that as it is.  It will cope absolutely fine, even if you max out your number of drives, RAM and fans.  You would be cutting it very close for SLI but in all honesty, unless you run loads of high resolution monitors, you'll never need SLI - Always better off getting a better, single GPU.

        A new, single GPU gaming system will probably pull under 100w at idle and maybe reach around 300-400w under very high load - Modern hardware is extremely efficient, and seems to be getting more efficient all the time.

        A PSU works best around 50% load so getting one that is rated way more than you are using will prevent it from reaching its peak efficiency.

          Both of those units look okay but I'd still lean towards the XFX as it's a much better known and tested unit.  XFX PSUs are actually made by Seasonic who are one of the biggest and best PSU manufacturers on the market.  The XFX is also modular whereas the Rosewill is not.
