Too many fans. That many fans isn't necessary.

Apple keyboard?

Other from that, I think you've made a pretty good choice

1.) Fans look sick

2.) I already have them - it was a gift

3.) I dont want to spend money on a keyboard now as I after this I will see and save up for a K70/95RGB

4.) Looks awesome and not too expensive (might upgrade to 290x's/3way 970 in the future)- also HOF card are the best and look sick (seeing a pattern :P) - I am going for a black/white build

Cheapest 1440p monitors that are good - only one that is cheaper is a BENQ with a response time of 12ms
