Use a WD Blue HDD.

 

Do you really need a i7?

 

What is that case? You have a typo there.

 

You don't need a soundcard.

The gpu's for sure. I would get a 980 or 970. Also I would get a better CPU cooler and ditch the sound card,

If you plan on overclocking, you'll want the z97 chipset.

Get a better single GPU instead of two inferior ones.

the case is from a company called sentey. i have never heard of it either, but the 6090 has been getting good reviews, it looks pretty good, and comes with 4 fans.

Get a 2x8GB memory kit instead of 4x4GB. Two modules will put marginally less strain on the memory controller and will leave room to upgrade memory should that ever be desired.

 

Depending on your "ear" and speakers/headset you may find that the sound card is superflous. Most gaming motherboards have pretty decent sound.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
