About to order parts for new gaming rig (Had a laptop before with GT755M lol)

PCPartpicker: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CZKx3C

I already have the PSU (Got it for $60, and I'll most likely switch it out for an AX860 in the future for Crossfire, then use it for a server)

What do you guys think of it, any last changes to be made, or should I just leave it as it is?

Very decent, but could get 850W power supply instead for upgradability - adding a second graphics card at some point in the future.

i7 4790K || R9 290X + R9 290 || 16GB G.Skill TridentX 1866 || Gigabyte Z97MX Gaming 5 || Crucial MX100 256GB || WD Caviar Blue 1TB

I would get a more powerful aircooler and  a PSu with higher wattage but that is personal preference.

The 212 is not bad. I just seems not beafy enough to me.

the RM550 is a solid 80+Gold model but wattage seems to low (to me) to OC both CPU and GPU to the max comfortably.

  1. you need a better cpu cooling solution for the i7. get the u14s from noctua or the ph-tc14 from phanteks

everything else is good. i personally wouldn't go with the corsair psu, but that's just me. i would get an evga (g2, b2, gs), seasonic, xfx, or antec psu
