Are you planning on an additional GPU down the road? You don't need 750W as the build is currently listed. Also, Windows 8.1 is available for the same price as 8. If you're going with 8.x, the latest release is more polished and usable.

Well that may be true in the short run, in the long run if you're in the market for a 780TI there's no reason to get less of a power supply since you can't SLI the card later on, and the majority of the people in the market for a 780TI, are most likely going to SLI the card later on for maximum performance.

Razer keyboards are ridiculously overrated. You can get way better for the same price if you look elsewhere like:

- Gigabyte Osmium...

You don't really need an i7-4770K or 16GB of RAM either. 8GB of DDR3 2133 will do fine for Haswell. Drop that and upgrade your SSD to a Samsung 840 Pro or an OCZ Vector 150. You also don't need the Maximus VI either - you can get an identical motherboard for less money if you go through Gigabyte or Asrock. This would be a better use of $2500 IMO:

Use the difference for a mechanical keyboard like I suggested and a nice 1440P or 2560 x 1080 monitor - those will be far better for high res gaming.
