I would spend a little more and get this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131989

The other thing I would do is buy a 2tb drive since it is only $15 more for the same brand, it will be nice to have tons of extra space.

I think the ram is a bit over the top personally but that is just my opinion though. Build looks good however.

Lots of high quality parts, I would lessen some of the uneeded fluff and get a 770/7970 at least. 

This^

A system cost of $1850 can EASILY fit a 780 in it.

 

You're getting many expensive parts that don't contribute much to the performance nor utility of the system.

 

What are your goals with this system? System usage? Preferences?

The stuff I changed was basically colour coordination and performance increases.

H220 is simply better than H100 in performance and also allows for posible upgrades.

You really dont need all of those fans. The R2 already has one in the front and back + the fans on the H220 are already pretty good.

Pirate a copy of windows or +$90

I am going to be waiting until the 700 series 660 ti equivalent is released so that is there for a filler
