What are you going to be doing with that build? Looks nice, everything should work together.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Few questions;

 

Do you need peripherals? 

What is your budget?

Will you need a copy of Windows?

he did put all the parts in the comment if you didn't see all that

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

I see the parts, but I was curious if he wanted any peripherals and what his budget was. It's a solid build, don't get me wrong, but depending on his budget I might have a few recommendations :)

My build is mainly for gaming and stream, maybe a bit of editing here and there, but mainly gaming. My budget is 3k. Should i get window 7 professional 64bit too?

Wait, wait, wait. You have a 3k budget, but this build only costs about $1,500 in the US. Where are you from? 

 

EDIT: Sorry for the double post. Didn't see the OP's comment until after I commented already. :I

the case was good a couple years back, but the haf 912 sucks severely compared to the competition nowdays.

 

840 pro is a waste of money. Spend the same and get a higher capacity Samsung 840 evo or something.

 

4tb hard drive is also kind of a waste. Better value to get 2 2TB HDDs

 

Then use that budget you saved to get a 4770k instead. It will give a noticeable framerate difference because you have a 780ti.

get windows 8.1. So much better than windows 7. All the people whining about 8 are frankly stupid or just trying to seem cool, because the search issues have been fixed in 8.1, and there is so much third party software out there that will fix it back to the regular start button like in windows 7 if you really care about that.

No point getting Pro unless you're using more than 16GB ram.

The system looks powerful and is viable but a bad value. I'd suggest Getting a cheaper motherboard, cpu cooler, ssd, bumping down to a 780, and saving the extra money for future upgrades.

Are you planning to sli?

Noted, thank you
