Default PC Build: Anything I should change?

Hey guys, I'm building a PC for gaming and just wondering if there is anything that should be swapped out or is this good? I've already gone over my budget of $2000 a little so I don't want to go over anymore.

CPU: Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2500k 3.3ghz - $331.00
GPU: nVidia EVGA GTX 560ti Superclocked 1gb - $388.00
RAM: Corsair Vengance 2x 4gb - $255.00
MotherBoard: ASUS P8H67-M Rev 3.0 - $205.00
HDD: Western Digital Caviar 1tb - $129.00
PSU: Corsair HX650 650W Modular - $198.00
Mouse: Microsoft Sidewinder x8 - $100.00
Keyboard: Microsoft Sidewinder x6 - $100.00
Case: NZXT Phantom Enthusiast Full Tower Black or White - $219.00
Monitor: ASUS VE228H 22" LED - $250.00

I should mention, I've already bought the screen for my current pc.

Where are you buying your parts from? I only checked the cpu, but it alone is $110 cheaper at newegg.com

Yeah, the things you're buying is way overpriced for some reason.

All that shouldn't cost you $2,000...

The prices do seem a bit high but I don't know about how the prices are in New Zealand.

I'm not sure if you have something similar for your country but in Canada I use www.shopbot.ca, it looks through multiple sites to get lowest prices.

Yes, I'd be buying it from NZ just cause I really don't want to worry about shipping and the vaules I've put up are NZD not USD. Something I should have mentioned.

EDIT: after looking at the savings even after the currency being converted, I may just reconsider my stand on international shipping.
