I really don't suggest the Eisberg the mounting system on it is truly terrible. Other than that it looks good.

What are you going to be using it for? And what's your budget?

Everything looks good to me. Just go for an H100I for CPU cooling. Any reason why you're going AMD for GPU?

if i were you, buy it all at the one time. if it's not going to be ready for three months, there's a good chance that stuff would be cheaper then!

I would get a better 650w psu like a Seasonic G Series 650W because 750w is too much unless you want to crossfire: http://www.amazon.com/SeaSonic-650-Watt-CrossFire-Certified-SSR-650RM/dp/B00918N4A0

Don't do that. It's a better value to buy it all at once since parts and prices change frequently.

yea I need need to know if I can oc the cpu to 4.6 4.7 of course it depends on the luck of the draw or you know it can already basically as close to 5GHz as possible asking alot but still 

Depends on the cpu.

Looks good, do you intend to crossfire? if not then recommend working out the power usage and you might be able to save some money from a 550w or 650w psu

 

As for recommendation for coolers, the H100i is common however i have seen some reviews people have problems with it, there is so many coolers and not sure if you want a top mounted with duel fans and large rad, or a smaller rear mounted (120mm or 140mm fan) type closed loop cooler?

I have a Zalman LQ315 and love it, its neet, clean looking, quiet, and works well with my system, gives plenty of room. if you want extra the LQ320 has a slightly deeper rad. then there is the Corsair H80 and other rear mounted coolers.

 

What about hard drives? have you looked into a SSHD for main stuff and SSD for windows?

got to love Asus components

well I can get amd 8350 build around 450 or I can get a Intel build witch alot of people say go with that so I don't have enough money to go with it so I have to buy the parts by the month I really wanted to go with amd seen reviews though and seen Intel was better for games although it really depends on the GPU not really cpu so would a 8350 be the same as an intel given for the games we see are going to be at least 6 core 8 core games in the future

I still don't know your budget.
