I think you're good to go

Looks PERFECT!

Very smexi choice of parts. Personally I would go for the gray toned Vengeance Pro, the blue isnt too appealing with the rest of the build.

Thanks, With The Vengance Pro I Was Gonna Eventually Mod The Power Button And Replace It With This

Do You Think There Will Be Problems With The Radiators Since I Have Liquid Cooling And The Fury X Is Liquid Cooled

No, the C70 should have a sufficient amount of places to mount it all, like put the H110 on top and the Fury X in the front or something, however you really want to do it.

Corsair H110i GTX 104.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler and Corsair H110i GT 113.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler are newer tech and might be a touch less expensive (depending on merchant).

EVGA 220-G2-0750-XR is as good a psu and less expensive.

Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory or Kingston HyperX Fury White 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory would be good memory choices.

That Was My Plan h110 on top, fury x in front

H110i GTX/GT is worse for more

I Might Use That PSU

And I'm Using Corsair For Looks, It Being Reliable, etc
