The processor is great.
Motherboard looks good.
16gb RAM is quite high and you generally won't need that much unless you want to do some 3d animation, high level video editing etc. Personally, I'd save some money and drop it to an 8gb - I use that much and never use more than 5gb of it, even when playing games like BF3 on max settings or a load of Skyrim mods - hell, most modern games are still limited to 4gb anyway.
1tb sounds fine, the RPM looks good and its a good brand.
I'll come back to the GPU.
That case is expensive, its very big - much bigger than your motherboard. As a general rule, I never go above $100. Look for something cheaper, which can support an ATX motherboard (it should say in product description) with multiple fans.
That PSU looks a bit like overkill, your estimated PSU requirements are 325W and you've doubled it - with an enthusiast level of PSU. Drop it down to a 600W, which should be enough, even if you want to get a dual-GPU system later on.
OS is fine.
Back to the GPU - games are normally GPU heavy, and you have a sufficient CPU. The 660 is a fairly solid card, one that could run pretty much every game. However, if you drop some of the other, less important things down - such as the Case, PSU etc, you could do one of three things -
1. get two GPU's
2. upgrade to a 660ti/670 etc
3. save some cash and stick with the 660, and run games a little less smoothly.
Also, another thing to note is the overall price of your components is in massive flux; it has jumped up $50 since December - it might be worth waiting a while for the price to fall down again so you can get yourself a goodie, like a nice headset or something.

Thanks Gunner for the feedback. the reason i choose the define xl r2 is to beable to use it in future builds. However i was thinking about getting the fractel design define r4. what do you think? About the psu i choose it to beable to use two gpu in sli in the future. But since you said that its kind of overkill, what wats would you say i need? about the prices where i live these things have actully become cheaper than ever before(i live in Sweden).

If you want to get the really big case for future builds as well, then that's fine, it looks like a really good case, and since you can use it for a long time, then that's up to you. Personally, I don't really follow cases too often - I personally got one of the cheapest and took the side panel off for excellent airflow, I just have to be careful not to spill milk in there or something. For the PSU, I have a 700W and that is far too much - I was planning on SLI, but that doesn't look too likely for me right now (no money lol). Looking at the stats for the 660, it takes up 140W, to SLI it, your estimated wattage would go up to 465W - a 550W would be sufficient, but to absolutely make sure I'd get a 600W. Corsair make some very good PSUs, but they can be expensive. Looking at the ratings and price, I'd say [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/part/silverstone-power-supply-st60fes]this one looks like a steal[/url]. Also, looking at the GPU's, I'd say SLI 660's would be a lot better bang for buck than SLI 660ti or a single 670, so go for that. I'm also pretty sure that EVGA are on the list of best manufacturers for PSU's.

The psu looks great however i cant get it. You have to order it online and i cant do that. Do you think a fractel designe, antec or something else would be better?

Well he pretty much covered everything. Listen to him, lol.

What Gunner said really, he put it in much greater detail :D! PS: HI GUNNER :DDDDDDDDDD!
