Any improvements for this build?

 

THe ASUS Z97 Pro is quite overpriced. You could get something much cheaper like MSI G45 Gaming, and a wifi card if you want.

According to what ppl saying, Corsair CX PSU is usually consider not really good, at least compare to other option like EVGA SuperNOVA NEX, or Seasonic etc.

Otherwise look ok to me.

I'd say you could get a cheaper but still good motherboard, and the psu is overkill even if you plan to SLI in the future.

 

Also what do you plan to use this computer for? Gaming? Editing?

If its just for gaming then 16 GB of RAM seems pretty unnecessary.

Seems pretty good otherwise.

 

Edit: as @Megazero said, you can get better psu's than the Corsair CX 750

It's perfect for the most part. I mean, maybe you could get a fan controller and a heck ton of fans or something. You could also switch out that Hardrive for a Hybrid drive, which is essentially a hardrive with SSD-like performance. a little more pricier but faster none the less. Also, a jet black or jet white graphics card would be more fit for your build theme.

 

Your fancy-smansy motherboard is really not necessary, I would go with something cheaper unless you really need an enthusiast motherboard. If you get something sub-$100, you could reallocate that money into the GPU and get a GTX 980.

 junker build in the making
