A few notes, without really going through it all.
Make sure you know what you are doing with liquid cooling, otherwise you might lose everything if it decides to leak.
I favor Asus and Gigabyte over MSI for motherboards. MSI is maybe third or fourth.
AMD cards tend to offer more for the price, over Nvidia ones.
I would personally get harddrives later on at a lower cost and just move forward with one. You can get 3 and 4 TB harddrives pretty cheap these days.
I would drop the mouse if it isn't free. Get a Logitech one or one from some other good company.

Thanks for the tip!! I think i'll lay off on the liquid cooling as i have 0 experience with it :P The mouse is only an extra $3 so yea xD Not a problem~

Dont listen to him about the liquid cooling...its a 1 piece cooler not a custom build liquid cooling which in case if it was it requires you to know what you're doing otherwise you will get a leak.
The one you're getting is the intel CPU cooler and does not require maintenance...and since its coming pre-built you have no reason to touch it.

Who said anything about needing to touch it? Any liquid cooling could leak. Could be on it's own or if say the computer is damaged by the user, among other reasons.
It doesn't matter what you do to it, it only matters what it does. With no real benefit at that level of liquid cooling, it isn't even worth the effort. You can overclock rather heavily on just a decent air cooler. Why bother with any liquid cooling?
Or you could just recommend not listening to me, again, because we all know things only break if you touch them. The better Corsair ones leak here and there. I'm not saying it is common, but what I am saying is that they offer no real benefit, but risk for no reason.
A cheap quality cooler, installed by a crap company, into a computer that will likely never be opened by the owner. I would pass.

They're built sturdy for a reason...if they leak then they're faulty which is something they would catch when building it. 1 piece sets rarely leak, if you're going to build a custom cooling...those even rarely leak because the people building them KNOW what they're doing.
Hell it doesn't even matter its a pre-built and odds are you'll never overclock anyways. Not to mention that CPU is a waste and odds are you'll never use it at its full capacity..you'd be better off getting a better GPU.

Oh, here comes the caps. I was waiting. The KNOW what they are doing. LOL. Alright, people that speed through assembling these computers know more than any of us and they carefully check everything. This makes sense. Nothing would ever leak later on. Things never break. There definitely aren't posts all over the internet about this happening.
The worst part, it isn't even a good one. Seems kind of strange to back a product of that quality, for that type of user.
I'm done with this. Let the people that KNOW what they are doing handle it. I don't care.

I have an Ibuypower built computer for a little over two years now, and my liquid cooler has never caused me any problems. I even root around inside my case every so often to clean, and have changed pretty much everything but the cpu itself.
So many people bashing them, I wonder if quality has gone down since I got mine or something. I was quite pleased with what I got.

This has nothing to do with individual cases. I don't care how your liquid cooler runs, nor would I for anyone else. Liquid cooling is only smart if you know what you are doing and if you are overclocking enough to take advantage of it. If you meet both criteria, you would certainly want a better choice than that one.
A closed-loop liquid cooler would offer no advantages to XxOrangeTurtlexX, but could possibly leak someday and take out components. Doesn't mean it will, but it does happen. You can overclock pretty high, off air, for almost nothing, with no risk like that.
Basically air cooling would be quieter, less risky, less likely to break down (say the pump gives out), and would cost less. All of this and no disadvantages for that setup.
I would never, in a million years, recommend liquid cooling to anyone that didn't even know how to build their own computer. If you order a prebuilt computer, there is always that tendency to add anything that sounds cool, without having a clue what the advantages and disadvantages are. They also love to sell you on things that they can convince you that you need, when you really don't.
I think closed-loop liquid cooling systems are fine. Don't get me wrong. I just can't recommend liquid cooling, of any kind, to anyone that buys a prebuilt computer. Build your own and you will know if you need it or not. You will also know if you desire it or not. Clicking on an option in a prebuild config doesn't make it a wise move or something that you should be posting on forums about.

Bad brand, terrible company, better off Here...
I have known people in real life that got computers from them them, problem after problem, really bad builders, they DO NOT CARE and DO NOT take the time building them and many times you will get a computer with various parts not connected and such.
That said, I built my first computer when I was 13 and its not that hard, so easy, youtube it.

i7 is overkill and youll just waste all that money, double so through ibuypower. i5-4670 is just fine.
I own that case, its fantastic.
Dont both paying for the OCing.
2x ram sticks are better then a single one, even if there is less memory. 8GB is plenty.
You could go lower on the PSU if you are only going to have the single card. 650w.
You dont need 1tb for the OS/Primary if you have 1tb dedicated to data. 250 has worked well for my OS, 1TB for games. Though I also have 2 other data drives. Your choice.
Unless you have a sound system 5.1+, dont buy the sound card.
Dont buy the network card.
I wouldnt pay for pro wiring since they do trash.
I wouldnt pay for rush service or rush shipping either.
Bunch of other pointless stuff in there too, but those are the ones I could make out.

I was in a bit of a hurry so i didn't get a chance to make it look all pretty :P

Check if your local pc store configures, because honestly, that thing is garbage (because ibuyshit is a terrible company).
They may offer the same service as ibuyshit but for 50-100 bucks. You just give them a budget and tell them it's for gaming, they know the rest.

If you don't have the skills to mount your computer yourself, forget liquid cooling. It needs maintenance.

Just pray you get it undamaged. When I dealt with IBuyPower it was a bit of a nightmare for me. They did not clamp down the fan for the processor and it wrecked everything during transit. Sent it back to get it replaced, told them they need to clamp it down or else it would happen again...
They did not clamp it down. This time they put thermal gel on it ( like they where supposed to the first time but did not. Regardless the morons putting it together probably thought it was glue. )but did not clamp down the fan like they where supposed to..
Really angry by this point, told them just to put the fan for the processor in a box + the thermal gel separate from the machine. They agreed. Now guess what they do?
They shoved the fan inside one of the areas used to house the HDD or DVD/ect.. oh and no thermal gel at all. At least the thing was mostly undamaged. ( Still minor damage... ) So.. yea not a fun experience with them. I know of people who have had good experiences with the company, but my experience was flat out terrible.

This is pretty much them in a nut shell.
Everyone I know who ordered from them had this experience, this is a conpany that will give you a PSU that can't handle the specs and I have heard of peoples computers basically exploding, you think they would check the specs in the orders....
