hi guys, I was just wondering what you would think of this build. 

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/3GTnjX

Are there ways that I can improve it? Make it cheaper with alternatives?
I will later on be adding an after market cpu cooler to overclock, not sure which one to get, what would you suggest?
I will also be adding another gpu for two-way sli. 
I already have a hard drive from a old computer that I am planning to move over.

Thanks.

You can either go for Coolermaster Seidon 212 Evo or Noctua DH 15 for cooling, or like everyone else a Corsair H100i works. 

As for your PSU, 750W would be enough for 2 way SLI, as 970 doesn't require that much power. Also if you aren't so fixated on the motherboard, you can get a cheaper one from MSI SLI plus, or Gigabyte Z97 SLI for 100-110 and save yourself 50$

I7 4790K • Corsair H110 • MSI Z97 SLI Krait Edition • Kingston Fury Hyper X (White)(16GB)(1866Mhz) • Crucial MX 100 512 GB • Seagate Barracuda 1TB • Phantek Enthoo Pro • EVGA G2 750 Watt 


Asus DRW Optical Drive • TP Link Wifi Adapter • Asus MX279H • CM Devastator Bundle (Blue) • Bitfenix Spectre Pro (White) • Windows 8.1


Galax Hall Of Fame 970
