Looks awesome!

Wouldn't get an i7 myself as I see it as overkill, but each to their own.

Excellent build

The 4770k does get pretty toasty, I've seen people oc on the h60 at the 4.2-4.4 range. Going any higher with that cooler might be tougher.

Also 850w is a ton more than you need even for overclocking you could drop to a 700w...even 650w in the seasonic variants and be okay. BUT its not going to hurt you and it's more of me just giving my opinion than anything else.

I'd say you really don't need an i7 for gaming. The best gaming CPU for the money at the moment is still an i5-3570K as the Haswell stuff is nice and all, but it's not really worth the extra cash and the Ivybridge stuff is great for overclocking. Also mate, I'd swap the SSD out for a Samsung 840 Evo as they are top notch gaming wise. I'd try to opt out of the low-profile RAM as well as the CPU cooler you've picked means you'll still have room for "full sized" sticks.

Christian Angelo: Do you think that 850W is too much for SLI and OC?

James Leigh: I wont change the i7 4770k for the i5 3570k for 2 reason

1. I prefer to take a i7 for the hyper threading. I regulary do multi tasking so a i7 would be useful.

2. I also prefer to take the i7 4770k over the 3770k because there is not a big difference in the price and the 4770k is better.
