Get a H97 board you don't need a Z97 with a locked CPU also you don't need 2800mhz ram get 1600mhz and save money.

Oh god, it's pretty unbalanced and it will look ugly AF.

the fact that you spent almost as much on your mobo as you did on your GPU says a lot.....

DON'T use evga nex psu. try a gs or g2 instead.

If I can't find something that fits my desired color, i usually just go with something black, so I would recommend crucial ballistix or kingston hyperx fury black. same goes with gfx. 270x isnt very desirable, but if u need teh orange, then go for it.
