Here is my build. Spent over 100 research hours looking for parts. Not sure if Noctua NH-D14 is overkill or not, but anyways, I am planning to use this for gaming. I plan to overclock this to about 4.4 ghz and I hope that you guys like it. If there are any suggestions for improvement, that would be greatly appreciated

I would say that the fan is a little over kill (I would get a cheep all in one water cooler). Are you sure you want green ram I would get the G. skill ram.  Other than that It looks good

No need for all those LED fans. The green ram is quite ugly. Kingston or G.SKILL has some nice ram. Such an odd color scheme of black red and blue. For the CPU cooler anything from BeQuiet! Is good.
