Pretty good, except I'd swap out the TN monitor for an IPS one. ;)

What do you think about this? I'd like to stick with ASUS for the monitor. :P http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX40530

I think some people have complained about that newer model, I'd recommend going with its older brother the PB238Q.

Added, it doesn't seem to make too much of a difference to me, and it has tilt, swivel, pivot, and height. I'm all in! Thank you!

Sweet! B)

Not sure about that case though, I'd personally go for the H440, but that's just me. ;)

Hello and welcome to this thread.

This made me chuckle. 

"Good to be here too."

 

What's the system being used for? Why such a large case and keyboard? Are you planning to sli?

I'm always thinking of SLI so until I make a final decision I'm sticking with the ATX full tower there. Like to recommend a better case?

 

I'll be gaming, rendering things like Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D and Recording videos for a YouTube channel.

It looks amazing, but I'm going to have to make sure that everything is compatible.

Is the K95 really necessary? It's excessively big for most people.

I'd suggest getting at least 2 displays which can improve productivity.

The H440 is excellent and is compatible with your current parts list (which can definitely be refined).
