You can save some money by changing the SSD to a Samsung 840 EVO, but otherwise it looks perfectly fine to me.

 

 

Also: Bitcoin mining?

Not worth it anymore.. Litecoin is a definite maybe, but Bitcoin is pretty much out of the question unless you have ASIC miners.

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems

Possible uses:

Video editing

BC Mining

Gaming (Duh)

Music Creation

Maybe some Animation

I would go for a smaller water cooling setup but other than that looks nce beware though that 290x will be hottt
