Here is my build : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2SM5P

I'd like to keep it under 4k which shouldn't be too hard. Please help me with anything I need to change. The case doesn't need to be flashy and showy and I would like it to be not too large. Peripherals like keyboard and mouse won't be needed and I already have a 27 inch 720 tv I can use as a monitor. The main thing I'm having trouble with is the cooling system and the Wi-Fi adapter since I'm like 3 or 4 walls away from my adapter. This is going to be used for gaming, mainly Minecraft, PS2, Skyrim and I might try to play some FPS's like BF4 or CoD. Also I would like to start doing Youtube with this.

Should be noted that this is loosely based off of Digital Storms Bolt II, I wanted to build one like because I wanted to see how much cheaper it would be to do it myself.

any reason for getting a titan in specific? a 780 ti is lower price and better performance. Also you can use a powerline ethernet set up. You just plug the ethernet cable into your wall plug. 8gb should also be enough unless you are heavy into video editing (the i7 and titan suggest to me that this is likely, but who knows).

for the case, corsair 300r, 500r, 230t, 600t
coolermaster haf, 690 III

theres a lot more any idea what you want in particular?

I don't suppose you live near a Micro Center? Because they always have the lowest prices on processors:

http://www.microcenter.com/product/413248/Core_i7_4770K_35GHz_Socket_LGA_1150_Boxed_Processor

Keep in mind that Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit has a 16GB addressable memory cap, so you won't be able to expand your memory capacity without upgrading your OS to either Win 8 or Win 7 Pro.

I have to question the point of getting a Titan if your primary use for this system will be gaming on a 720p display. The 780 Ti would be a much better value, albeit still complete nonsensical overkill for that resolution. But if you're absolutely committed to getting a Titan I would hold off for a couple weeks. There have been a lot of rumors circulating about an updated fully unlocked Titan (Titan Black) coming out at the same price point sometime soon.

Just a couple suggestions that immediately struck me.

My take on this.
Price is only slightly more than original.
