This is my first PC, so I've been playing a lot of attention to detail and make sure I get the best value for my money while still keeping the build aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I'm working with a 1500 us dollar budget, I'm hoping to stay under it.Any help would be pretty awesome, here's the build.

So far it looks good. I was about to comment on the PSU but since you mentioned you might be xfire'ing in the future it's enough.

I will warn you though cable managing in an H440 with the default cables on the EVGA G2 PSUs are a pain in the ass (there is not a lot of space in the back of that case). I bought the custom cable set from EVGA to alleviate that a bit, but I'll be moving to a CL Mercury S8 soon so cable management should be easier.
