Seems fine to me

you may want to go with an IPS monitor.

i would wait a week to see the new radeon cards.you could get a cheaper z87 mobo,does the same thing

[mvitkun]

I would do this instead.

change the SSD to something with faster write speeds at the the same price.

 

change the AIO to the H220.

 

change to a cheaper motherboard.

 

As to the new videocards,if you can wait a month or two,I would,if not the GTX 770 is still a great card.

ahh k and why h220?

[mvitkun]

ahh k and why h220?

its better.......

this graph shows Linus' benchmark results for the AIOs.

 

though this was done with the Noctua NF-F12s,and the results with the stock fans are much less impressive.

 

so if you plan on using the stock fans going with the H110 or kraken X60 might be a better idea.

Pretty good, I would recommend getting a Swiftech h220 instead of a h100i, for the reason that you can add another radiator and GPU water block if you want. And replace the 770 with a 7970 or wait for the new Hawaii GPUs. 

 

EDIT: And coming to think of it, I think you can get a 2TB Seagate Barracuda for like $10 more, worth getting to be honest.

the h220 performs better than the h100i with any fans . the h100i in the test also use noctua fans. thats the Linus standard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWQGmX994fU

I would change the PSU, this one (i got the same one) isn't able to SLI. If you never want to sli, then this one is perfectly fine, but you could go with a lower wattage. 

 

The motherboard is great, but the only thing why I would buy it is because off the onboard sound, if you don't care to much about sound. You should go for a cheaper board.

What's the system for?

Is it better to go H220 then add 240 rad/gpu block next year. OR is custom loop significantly better, getting pump, 2 rads + cpu/gpu block? Id prefer to starting with h220 then upgrade next year if its not a horrible idea??? The pump is strong enough for 2 rads right?

 

Sry for hijacking the thread. PM me back or should I have PM'd them? maybe this helps OP tho

Get 7970 instead and you're golden.

I would look at changing three things though two of them are not nescesary as it's Haswell. The first is to switch to a fully modular Silverstone PSU then get their short cable kit. It's a kit designed for mATX and ITX builds so the cables are a lot shorter. Secondly/thirdly - consider going for the Fractal Arc Mini R2 and getting a Swiftech H320. The only negative with this is that you may not use its full potential as Haswell overclocks pretty horribly.
