Go to solution Solved by brob,

.. If I got a cheaper cooler then I wouldn't be able to overclock.

 

Need an unlocked cpu (K) to do that.

 

Fits the budget with a very good cooler for overclocking. Cooler will also make for a better looking build in a windowed case. If WiFi is not needed, leave out the NIC.

Change out the cooler for something cheaper and get an i5 4690k (you can OC this later for more performance)...

 

Otherwise, it's all good...

You don't need a Noctua cooler to overclock... and your current CPU choice is locked anyway... You can still overclock, but only by FSB...

 

Have you looked at AIO water coolers?

Dude, seriously?

It said it's a locked CPU and literally one second before i posted my reply you posted your updated build

Anyway:

Go with caviar blues

as for the keyboard i recommend this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/das-keyboard-keyboard-dask3mkprosil

Razer makes shitty overpriced stuff (except deathadder)

Also, do you really need ac wifi? If no, go with asus z97-a/z9-ar

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
