So I'll be getting a new CPU, Motherboard and Case. 

 

Here's what I have so far

Power supply For the 10 year warranty and it generally kicks ass.

The motherboard was chosen for its overclocking abilities and it's onboard audio which I've been told is very good.

CPU well you don't need a i7 for gaming.

Case Looks awesome, built like a tank and it favors silence like me.  

 

Anyone got any input?

CPU: i7 5820k @4.4GHz | Mobo: MSI MPower X99A | RAM: 16GB DDR4 Quad Channel Corsair LP | GPU: EVGA 1080 FTW | Case: Define R5 Black Window | OS: Win 10 Pro

Storage: SanDisk Ultra II 960GB 2x WD Red 4TB | PSU: EVGA 750W G2 | Display:Acer XF270HU + Dell U2515H | Cooling: Phanteks PH-TC14PE

Keyboard: Ducky One  TKL Browns | Mouse: Steel Series Rival 300 | Sound: DT990s

Upgrades look good depend on what you run now if you need it. I like the H440 cases more but that is personal taste.

Personally if I was going along the lines of a H440 I'd rather pick up a S340

Well I want a better motherboard, in general, I'm not i need of a GPU yet I'm only running 1080p, and my i5 is already overclocked to 4.8ghz via h110 which i was going to use for the 4690k but I may just hold off for a while.

If it's that much, why do you need a new CPU O.o

 

You might as well save that money (maybe upgrade your RAM, you can never have enough of it! NEVER!) and make a more substantial upgrade next time :)

The S340 is a bit smaller compared to a 440 again it was my personal taste. I wouldn't do much changing of parts either as it looks pretty solid for now. I mean you can better fully change it, then do it partly when it is really unnecessary.
