looks pretty solid man!

id personally get a non pro 

and a wcing aio but thats just me (also a bigger hdd)

and wtf you get to build systems for school projects?! wow xD

[Ps_domingo]

Change the PSU. 750 watts is waaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for a single GPU set-up. Your system will never exceed 500 even when overclocked. 

 

Also change the CPU Cooler maybe? Something that matches your coler scheme maybe? :))

I want to potentially go SLI in the future, hence the 750W PSU. Moreover, the NOCTUA CPU Cooler is killer good and I don't mind the color.

I have to pay for it, but its for a personal project that seniors must complete and counts for 75% of our mark in technology.

Well, as long as you have fun building it... either way, you'll end up with a very nice pc and a good great (I hope so :P )

[acidydragon]

I'd go for a pre-done liquid cooler over the air cooler. Besides that, very nice build!

[jclappers]

Very nice but go for a h100i and samung 840 non pro

exactly what i did when building mine, cpu hasnt been above 40 degrees celsius and the non pro is about $100 dollars cheaper for a marginally slower (unnoticeably slower) sdd

[FpsRanga]

get the 680 bc the 680 is basically to 770 

[Wauthar]

Really solid build, I love it! :)

But, do you really need the Blu-Ray drive?

[Josh]

Looks like a solid build, only think I can mention is maybe double check whether that ram will be compatible with the D-14 looks like the heat spreaders might be bit high.

[Nicktrance]

You might want to go with a 4670K instead, that way you save some money and get a sound card or a 256GB SSD. Also you might want to get LP versions of that RAM to avoid compatibility issues and an HD 7950/7970 offer better bang for the buck than the 770.

[Kaffefilter5]

nice parts, but why go ATX when u only have 1 gpu, and not even watercooling?

[Kevin235]

Adjustments made http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/13rGr

 

SLI in the future!! HENCE ATX and 750W

this asus motherboard is soo ugly in my opinion you can buy a much nicer one from gigabyte or msi

I like the gold accents and the color scheme of the motherboard, gpu, psu and ram. If you can suggest a different color scheme using similar parts that adhere to a color scheme it would be splendid.

Changed a couple of items, ssd, hd, psu.

[bdan24]

you may a well get like a corsair h100i if your gona pay that much for a cpu cooler

[Thunderjolt]

770 is cheaper to buy than a 680. Better to get the 770 and then it won't look like it is a generation behind.

[piplupgao]

The i7 may be a little bit over kill depending on what you do.

PSU is way to overkill, you can run 3 of those gpu on that psu no problem. get a cheaper board, a bigger ssd , an operating system(why do people always forget this) and id rather choose a prefilled liquid cooler then a 90 dollar air cooler.
