The Asus motherboard brings you down a bit (they have a history of breaking soon after my family buys them,)but besides that, your computer is pretty good. Is your i7 overclocked?
I gave it a 2, it is good as a gaming pc but you could have done better for the price, instead of an i7 you could have got an i5 2500k which is identical in performance, and then with the extra money could have gotten a GTX590 or 570 SLI, whatever is in the budget.
I gave it a 3 because the i7 2600 is unnecessary for gaming and you could have just got an i5 2500k and had equal gaming performance. Also, having it at stock speed makes it lose some "greatness" points with me because it could be faster with some overclocking. It also doesn't have any HDD or SSD arrays to speed up read/write speeds which makes it less great. If it was the best computer for gaming it would also have quad-SLI GTX 580's or 590's(even though 590's aren't worth the money).

They all suck. They just suck differently. Sort of like prostitutes.

But there is a stickied thread where this should have been put.
For my needs at least xD

Um, it's a PC, therefore Windows.
Windows ME? XP? Vista? 7?

Your forgetting Linux and all its distros.
Thinking about coming a mod to simply not moderate.
The PSU, it's a great choice. But the HX850 is 80 plus SILVER, not gold. I know its not much of a difference but things like that bother me sometimes.
