Is this build and components all compatible together?

Hey there.

This is my finalised build, ready to begin purchasing it all and then eventually getting it built.

Are all these components, etc compatible with one another? Any bottlenecking or other issues I might encounter, or perhaps any recommendations or advise you may have?

Case: Cooler Master Cosmos II Chassis
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme Black Edition
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-4960X Extreme
Graphics Cards: 2x EVGA Classified ACX GTX 780 - SLI
Memory Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400MHz 32GB
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i Extreme
Solid State Drive: Samsung 840 EVO-Series 500GB SSD
Hard Disk Drive: Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD
PSU Unit: Corsair AX1200 Professional Series
Optical Drive: 5.25 LG BH16NS40 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD RW
LCD Display Bay: 5.25 Matrix Orbital GX Typhoon TCI
Thermal Controller Bay: NZXT SENTRY 2 Touch Screen
Multimedia Bay: 3.25 BitFenix SuperSpeed Card Reader
Wireless Card: TP-Link TL-WDN4800
Platform: Windows 8.1 Pro

What would be the best, most stable overclock for the 4960X, as I'd like to ramp it up a little bit too.

I'll also be adding some LED fans and LED strips to the case too.

Thanks in advance guys!

You shouldn't have any bottlenecks and someone seems to have deep pockets for a gaming rig

Thanks good to know.

Anything else to say about the system in terms of compatibility and performance? Anything I could change for the better?

toneenthrall :

Personally I don't really think DDR3-2400 MHz is necessary, and if its CAS latency is 10 or 11, then it actually performs worse than DDR3-2133 with a CAS latency of 9. Also, 8 Gigabytes of RAM is all you need for gaming and 16 Gb if you're running multiple applications and/or are video editing. Also, the 840 EVO's are newer and cheaper because their memory controller lasts for 5-13 years unlike the older 840 Pro's that last for a much longer time and are faster. Also, What are you using this build for? If its just gaming this is way too overkill. For gaming at 1920x1080 to 2560, I would recommend an i7-4770k (Also great for video editing), 16 Gb of Vengance Pro, GTX 770 SLI (or a GTX 780), Samsung 840 EVO 250Gb (That's really all you need for gaming and OS), Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB (Games and videos don't take up a lot of space) (If you're video editing, then I recommend 2x2TB Blacks in RAID 1 so if one disk fails, the other one will keep your data), and a Corsair AX 760i for GTX780x1 or AX 860i for GTX 770x2.

I hope this helps
