Besides the Caviar Green (slooow) it looks good. I would get a Caviar Black instead.

Larger SSD

Better GPU

Cpu and GPU are not balanced

And definitely do not get a green drive. Those things are slow as hell

Go for WD Black instead, and I have the H100i in my system and it can sort of be a pain to deal with when installing or cleaning, especially if you're a beginner; going with a single rad cooler may be less of a hassle.

It seems good so far, though get a caviar blue or black, greens are slow

I would say that the CPU and GPU are balanced... I know plenty of people with this setup (i7 4790k + gtx970)

 

but yes, I agree w/ everything else. Stay away from those green drives.

Bump the green up to a blue or black, I'd suggest the black as its the fastest of the three.

Wait am I the only one who noticed how old the RAM is?

Why are you getting $104, 2+ year old ram? There is lots cheaper and better quality. This was great back in the day but I wouldn't recommend it for a new build today.

Personally, I like to spend similar amounts or more on my GPU compared to my CPU. but that is just me
