Hi guys, I'm finally building an entire new rig over the next month (Ordering PSU/Video card next week) and hoping for "okays" suggestions and looks overs. The Video card is 100% For sure, the 4770K is also 100%. Everything else is up for debate.

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146068 . I've personally set up rigs in this case before, and it's alright. Not exactly my style but I'm really bad at picking cases. However I wanted lower $100s and PLENTY of room. Would have preferred like a nice LED Fan guage or something. Would -really- love case input. I prefer black and blue or red type cases. Darker colors.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157372 Mobo. Was a tough choice between this and Asus. I never followed 1150 until recently so don't know how they all perform. I don't overclock often but sometimes I do. Need 2 PCI-E 3.0 (prefer x16/x8 or x16/x16). Would love inputs on 1150 Mobos.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121779 Best 780 I've seen besides the Galaxy but the Galaxy isn't official clocked yet so aiming for this one.

Honestly the lights don't mean anything to me, the unconnectable cords and 1KW ware amazing. Curious as to reviews of better suggestions? I -didn't- wanna spend this much on a CPU so if anyone has good alternative? I just really hate routing. But I'll probably sink a lot of time in it with this one.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116901 4770K. I mean, no real options here.


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147193 Really excited to try new 840. I currently have a 128GB old Samsung in here which I'll probably keep as Main ans use 256 for gaming.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233360 RAM. THIS is where I got torn as well. I saved $40 by not getting the Vengeance but I'm not overly familiar with timing or latency. I did aim for 1866 because 2400 is retardedly expensive. Would prefer to stay under $160. And no, it doens't have to be 16GB. if you can find AMAZING RAM for less than $160 and it's only 8GB, that's fine too.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099 CPU Heat-sink. I swear by this (Also ordered a second fan for it for push-pull)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835146007 Side fan for the case I got.

Any suggestions? Would really love some input, on any of the devices. RAM/Case/Mobo I'd -really- appreciate some input, those are my weakest areas.

I truly appreciate anyone's thoughts! Thanks! (Ordering Video card next week with PSU and then ordering rest of rid probably mid September.)
