What is your budget?

What is the use of the build?

What is your favorite color?

Where do you live?

Aim? Budget? Peripherals? Monitor? OS? I'll give some advice later after you posted it @dunkmaster

It's a damn nice one.

Looks good to me, only think I would change is the 4770K to a 4790K, and a Z97 board, such as the Asus-Z97A or MSI Z97 Gaming 5

My budget is around 1500 and i already have a monitor and peripherals

Assuming that you are using this for gaming and have a ~1300 budget, I would:

Get a corsair cx500m (all you need even if you go SLI in the future)

Get a cheaper processor and upgarde to broadwell later

Look into a seagate 7200rpm 1TB HDD as I have had the HDD you want to use fail on me

Maybe reconsider the Mobo as it only supports two-way SLI

Get an Intel SSD as they are less prone to fail

Too much? You can take off one GPU if you need to save money.

If you're gaming, you don't need an i7. Get the haswell refresh, it's more OC friendly. Don't you want the S340? An MX100 has better price per gb ratio than the hyperx 3k.

[dunkmaster]

sorry wrong one i messed up on the link

[dunkmaster]

i don't like the s340 because its not as flashy as the phantom but i think this here is good
