Hey. Overall very nice and expensive build, but... save money on motherboard because it doesn't give any perfomance (just quality).
Case. Do you really need full tower. Full tower is really big with a lot of space, so you need a lot of case coolers. If you aren't going to SLI and you don't need so much space pick mid tower.
BTW for cooler take a look at h100i. It's cheaper and perfomance should be almost the same.

i do plan on eventually doing sli.. so the 100i is same performance as swiftech? hmm might make that switch then.. on the motherboard quality is important to me.. it needs to last.. what are your mobo recommendations? what about the asus pro? I want to oc and from everything i read the asus software is pretty much noob proof which i need :)

I built pretty much the same system, only had the 4770k, used the corsair h100i, same SSD, got a 780 from EVGA as well. I personally love the mother board, the hero has treated me really well so far, and has plenty of room to add another 780 in a few months. The only suggestion I would have is to get a bigger PSU if you plan on upgrading/adding another video card in the near future. Other than that enjoy your rig!

If you really want quality then ASUS is ok or Asrock extreme 4 or 6 nice too.
In cooler section, h220 is the best non custom CPU cooler, but i don't think that you have to pay much more for only 10 % perfomance. BTW is really loud too. chech review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVNuN0UcYUQ

You could have the exact same performance for a lot less . It looks like you picked parts on price , assuming that that meant they were better .
So ......... which features of Win 8 pro are going to be better for you than standard Win 8 home ?
[ yeah , I know you already have it ]

And where were you going to buy that cpu cooler?

If the Switech isnt available anywhere then obviously I wouldn't be able to buy it.That why I said I "haven't" purchased anything..
I run a tech store at the campus I work at.. I got windows 8 pro for free.. I'm not paying for home when I can get the other for free.. Makes no sense especially when I am only ordering based on price as you say.. Speaking of price?? Really? hmmm let me think...

CPU - 4670k 230 vs 4770k 360 I chose the cheaper
MOBO - pro 199 vs Hero 219 VS sabertooth 249 vs formula 299 i chose the 219 hero
WaterCooler - I know nothing about these and I chose what toms hardware (which we happen to be posting on ) recommended in their latest build.
Ram - GSkill - Ripjaws??? there are plenty more expensive
seagate barracude 3tb for 119? - again there are way more expensive
samsung pro ssd? - yea you got me i guess i spent a little more for some something Everyone recommends..
evga 780gtx - I could have gone with titan or the even bigger ones or 2 770s which are often suggested here.. i went the cheaper way and spend 680 vs 800 and got the 780
azza genesis 9000 for 149?? - yea one of the best rated cases for a great price.. again there are a ton more expensive
seasonic 860? here i spent the buck because i believe a platinum with a huge warranty will SAVE me money in the long run
bluray? - This is being doubled for my home entertainment system.. I guess saving the money on a home receiver and speakers for a 70 blueray and speakers i already have is the more expensive way to go...
cm sentinel mouse ?? - One of the cheaper options out there..

So before you spout off trying to be a smartass how bout you get the facts and truths.. kk thanks.

ok h100i it is.. I think I am gonna stick with the ASUS.. REally like the quality aspect as well as the noob proof overclocking. So after switching out the water cooler is there anything else?? Will the gskills fir nicely with this water cooler?

Any PSU recommendations?? I did go for top o line on that seasonic it seems but i really want platinum and the big warranty on this piece whatever it might be.. maybe go up to the 1000 watt version of this?? Wonder how much that baby is.. How are the speeds and gaming with your parts? Just curious.. thanks for responding
