Any thoughts on how this looks? 

In a few weeks I will be starting my first build, not some cheap overpriced pre built thing.

 

 

EDIT: I have 1 500gb hard drive and 2 250gb hard drives (all run at 7200rpm) that I will temporarily be using untill I feel like getting a terrabyte drive

I also already have the motherboard and ssd as I got them both for under $200 during black Friday last year.

Get the windowed R5 for 10 dollars more

I'm betting everyone will say "Get the 290X" Even though it consumes like, 700 watts while gaming

swap out the Corsair 750W for the EVGA 750W G2.

 

i'd get the Phanteks Enthoo Pro

[kameshss]

EVGA G2 is cheaper and the best recommendation.

 

 

What are you going to use this system for?

I posted in build logs and meant post here, oh well

[King Oriax]

swap out the Corsair 750W for the EVGA 750W G2.

 

i'd get the Phanteks Enthoo Pro

They both look like fine power supplies, but the EVGA is $20 cheaper so hey why nhot, I considered the Enthoo pro but Im not going to use any of the optical bays and I like the r5 look more.

@King Oriax this looks great, however you might consider getting the R5 with a window to show your horses. i recommened getting a other psu maybe from seasonic or evga.

 

the Supernova G2 from evga is freakin awesome: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120g10750xr

 

or the Seasonic: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-s12g750

What are you going to use this system for?

Gaming, photoshop, a little bit of stuff in maya, some adobe after effects, nothing insane

Then definitely go for 4790K and two 970 or two 290x. Or even a 980.

The 850W G2 is currently $5 cheaper than the 750W model after rebate

Can't decide between r5 and the Enthoo, the r5 has better cooling for the gpus, but the front intake inst as good as the enthoo.
