I'm going to build a new pc at the end of the summer and i've already got a cpu, gpu and mobo.

This is what i already have:

Intel i5 2500k

Asus maximus V gene

AMD HD 7750(I'll get dual 770's for free next year, this is just a temp solution)

OCZ agility 3 120GB SSD

 

This is what i was thinking for the rest of the rig:

GEIL 8 GB of 2133mhz DDR3 ram

Some random cold cathode led's

Corsair GS 700w psu

Corsair h100i

mATX case(350d is not available where i live so ???)

WD 1TB HDD

 

Am i missing some essential part or are there better options than some of the stuff i picked?

Also a mATX case suggestion would be most appreciated.

Case: NZXT Vulcan, and get some decent gpu until next year, even a 7850/ 660 is a good choice.Also, i'd get a seagate HDD, in my experience, wd sounds like a small chinese minere is inside that drive... No offense China.

Codename: HighFlyer, specs:  CPU: i5 2500k cooled by a H70ish(2 rad)   Mobo: MSI MPower Z77   GPUs: Gigabyte GTX 660 OC 1150 MHZ core, 3150 memory both   RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16G @1600mhz   SSD: ADATA Premier Pro sx900 / HDD Seagate Barracuda 1TB/Samsung 1TB   Power supply: Corsair RM650 80+ Gold   Case Corsair Carbide 500R   5.4 ghz achieved on the good old 2500k, may it rest in peace. Current daily OC is 4.8 @1.41 v

I'm building a high budget rig for my friend and as a start we're getting him 2 770's, then next year we're upgrading to 3 780's and getting 3 1600p monitors. After the upgrade I get to keep the 770's.

cool, can i have one??? I know we just met, but i think its love...

My specs:Fractal Define R4, i5 2550k, Asus GTX 560ti 2GB, Samsung 840 pro 120GB SSD, 16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM ,Seagate Barracuda 2TB, Corsair 600w PSU
