No HDD? Also, not much of a price difference here in the UK, but get a CAS 9 kit of that memory. If however it stretches your budget too far, keep the CAS 10 kit. And, unless you can bear with a 1080p resolution on a 27" monitor, get a 24" one.

RM550, unless youre going SLI, smaller screen, like 23 inch (FHD is petty pixelated on 27 inch), get a I5 4670K if youre only gaming, no difference in FPS thats worth the extra money,

Pretty nice :) I would personally go for a 1440p monitor, if you can find one for a similar price. Also, go with a 2x120 or 2x140mm rad, it will perform a lot better. Overall, very nice build, I would like to see it done :D

so what u guys think about this

I would change the SSDs to 840 evos, the GPU to an MSI Twin Frozr or Gigabyte Windforce cooler, the H80i to an H100i, and the monitor to a 24 inch 1080p IPS monitor. 27" 1080p won't look too crisp, the PPI is a bit low. You could 1440p 27" if you have the money.

 

I would advise waitting a bit for the Z97 motherboards and new intel CPUs to come out in little time.

Nice case. I suggest you to wait for motherboards with z97 chipset.

Yo mama so fat, she doesn't even fit in a 900d.

so what u guys think about this

 

The Z97 chipset will be out on May 11th, so if you can put off your build for a week, you might get a better motherboard. You'll need more than a 128GB SSD if you want to game. Get at least a 1TB HDD to go along with it if you haven't already. Rest of it looks okay, but I do suggest either getting a display w/ a higher resolution or a smaller screen size. 1080P doesn't look great on a 27" monitor when you're seated so close to it.
