Gonna be using this for streaming bf4 at 1080p while still maintaining 60 fps. Any changes I should make? I'm buying this build in mid September btw.

H220 has a much stronger pump, so you can expand it to gpu, quieter.
You can do much more customasations like changing loops and colour.

850w is plenty for gtx780 sli +oc

Beastly build! My only suggestions would be to get RAM with better timings, and for a mouse, get the Func MS3, its probably the best (and most comfortable) gaming mouse you can get. Paul from newegg TV uses it as his personal mouse.

I don't want to get the swiftech h220 because the difference in cooling between that and the H100i is minimal. Also I got that power supply because I plan on adding another 780 later on and I want a quiet psu so I've only been choosing corsair and SeaSonic. Is 850 watts enough to over clock the 4770k to 4.5 and to hold two 780? Or should I get 1000-1250 watts just in case.

Thanks. I will consider it. Will I still get a quiet computer if I don't go with a corsair or SeaSonic? Are there any other good power supply that is also quiet
