thanks for the feedback!!!

consider getting a unlocked CPU, because the motherboard is overclocking ready and you chose liquid cooling.

you should get a Gtx 770 2gb instead of the 760 4GB, you really dont need those extra 2 GB's on a 760.

you could go for a WD green HDD instead of a blue, more silent and pretty much same performance

Get/Change :

• 4670k
• h100i (If room)
• Cheaper RAM
• Consider a 280x
• Get an aftermarket wifi card (Not intel)
• Build it yourself

i don't really plan on overclocking so i didn't change the cooler but i went ahead and changed to a 4670k just in case i change my mind and it was not much more. i also changed to G.Skill Sniper 8GB DDR3-1600, Asus PCE-N53 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1, and an asus geforce gtx 770 2gb. i want to go nvidia because i am thinking about an nvidia shield. didn't change the hdd because i couldnt find one for near the same price. i have a near $1500 budget.

 

thanks so much for the feedback!!!!!!

oh and will the fans included be enough (i think the case comes with 2 and the h80i comes with 2)

i kinda plan on putting the fans from the case in the front and the fans from the rad in push pull on the back of the case. i kinda want to keep in the foam on the sides and top for noise reduction but not sure if the rad is a good enough exaust

The fans are enough but the fans that come with the h80i are quite loud. It's probably not really worth getting such an expensive cooler for just gaming in the first place anyway.

ok so if i replace the fans on the h80i what are recommended fans. i know linus loves nf-f12's but they are expensive

Arctic F12 PWM CO's work as well http://pcpartpicker.com/part/arctic-cooling-case-fan-afaco120pcgba01

But really, it's not worth the money for the h80i + aftermarket fan over just a Hyper 212 Evo.
