Your whole build is perfect minus OEM copy of Windows. If you can stretch, maybe get a Professional copy of Windows so that you have access to Group Policy and stuff like that. I would never use Windows 8 without it - there's so much stuff to mod to make it usable in a professional environment it's absurd (lock screen, various built-in apps, etc).

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

  1. Get the Raijintek Triton as your CPU cooler instead. Newegg has it for sale. It's cheaper, stronger, and more beautiful.
I hope you know that you are wasting money on the SSD and RAM choices. You could get the very same (and maybe even better!) performance while saving some cash.850w PSU is wrong. Get 650w instead. It's better for efficiency. And it's also cheaper.

The only thing is if I were you I would go with the Corsair H110i GT liquid cooler.  It costs a little more but it has rgb lighting (if you're into that) and it's gotten pretty good reviews.  Honestly though, that's just my opinion.  What you have is fine, should be a great build.

Go for maybe HyperX Furys or some Rip Jaws if your planning on getting 1600mhz, $160 for the Samsung 850 Pro is fair I guess.

Hmm... nope. 650w is enough even for 4-way SLI, let alone 3-way. I just hope you understand that 3x SLI is actually worse than 2-way, due to min fps dropping.

Please have a read before you suggest that 650w is enough for 4-way sli.

Info coming straight from linus. His system consumed 620w on a 4way OC 980, on OC 5930k. Factor in PSU efficiency, and I'm pretty sure that 650w is enough. Surely, I wouldn't recommend on a new build, but if one gave it a try, it WOULD work.
