This is the gaming pc I'm going to build in a week or so. Ignore the pre-order stuff, if they aren't in stock at the time of buying the parts then I may have to change them.

 

What do you guys think? Should I change anything?

All I would suggest unless you are planning to SLI in the future, you could get a way with a 650 watt PSU from corsair instead.\

edit: there is an ssd in there

But, unless your planning to go sli, then downgrade psu to something like a 600w.

Didn't realize corsair did a builder series 750... If it is basically the same as a TX, sure, go with it, its a great price. If the TX is a better quality PSU (I am not sure if they are), I would get a TX650 instead, should be about the same price.

I don't see the point when the TX 650 is more expensive and also, it has less ports of things I can plug into it.

Just did a bit of research, the TX line is better quality internals. I am not saying the CX isn't good, I have more CX's than TX's in my house (not on gaming machines tho, all of my CX's are 430 watts). But the TX is built better, although it isn't modular, which might be a big deal. Also, the TX650 has plenty of ports for you current setup, but if you plan on expanding, the CX750 is a great option.

As an American I'm still astonished by the extra BS money you pay after the stupid VAT. For the PSU I would go for a higher tier series at a lower wattage for more quality power. Other than that your build is just fine

I'm thinking of putting in a AX760 instead of the CX/TX. I want to be able to upgrade in the future with the ability of SLI'ing possibly graphic cards such as 780's.

AX is great quality, don't get me wrong. But it won't really be any different from an SLI standpoint compared to the CX ot TX 750. Might want to think more of a TX 850 watt for SLI 780's assuming some overclocking on the CPU and GPU's. The AX is an amazing PSU, but I recommend a few more watts for SLI 780's, and a AX 860 aint cheap.

Looks good, although I would pick another case, that one really seems plasticky

Cooler Master 690 II Advanced - I5 2500K @ 4.5Ghz - Geil Enhance Plus 1750Mhz 8Gb - ASUS ENGTX 570 DCUII - MSI Z68aGD65 - Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B - Samsung 830 128gb and Crucial m4 128gb - much other stuff not worth mentioning

Look at TX850M, that will be sufficient wattage for high end SLI no doubt, and it is a very solid PSU. If you can fit the AX860 into your budget, yea dude go for it, not many better options than that!

The reason I'm also choosing the AX760 is because the cables are fully sleeved meaning aesthetically, it looks a lot better.

True, just not sure 760 is enough watts for SLI 780's. It is enough in the sense that no you will not use all 760 watts, but I don't know how much headroom you will have, and you don't want to be too close to the PSU's max.
