Looks decent to me , if it were me id get a higher end PSU but thats just me.Are you really going to need a 780? Maybe a 770 will be better?

Okay, thank you. I had some people that were griping me saying I needed stronger cooling. Do you guys think that's the case?

Not for a while anyway. The 212 is an amazing cooler from what i've heard and it'll get you farther than the stock cooler. I would recommend ponying up for a watercooler/better heatsink later when the 212 gets older, but you ought to be good for several years with it

Get an IPS panel monitor, not 144Hz.  You will enjoy the IPS much much more!

Only need 8GB of RAM for gaming.  Get the least expensive 1600Mhz, 9-9-9-24, 1.5v RAM you can find.  Brand doesn't matter.

CX600M PSU is the best PSU for this type of build.  It is inexpensive, reliable, quiet, and semi-modular.  I have one myself, it is fantastic.

I also went with a PNY 240GB SSD.  It is only $90 and works just as well as a Samsung.  The strength of the Samsung is for very large file transfers.  So unless you are doing large file transfers often, go with a less expensive brand.  When it comes to day-to-day tasks, all SSDs perform the same.

 

If you live near a Microcenter, go pick up your i5 and motherboard in-store.  They give you a massive discount when purchasing an intel CPU and compatible motherboard in-store.
