Hello
It's my first time preparing to build a gaming computer and I need help deciding on parts.
I am a causal gamer that plays Rome 2, BioShock Infinite, and Far Cry 3.
For the build I prefer a black and green colour theme.
So far my system components are:
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/3vD1m
Case: NZXT Phantom 530 Case Black
Motherboard: Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z87 Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i CPU Cooler
Graphics: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB OC Edition
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY16GX3M2A2133C11 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
Solid State Drive: Samsung 840 EVO Series 250GB SSD
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB 24x DVDRW OEM
Power Supply: Seasonic G-650 80Plus Gold 650W OEM or Corsair CS650M Modular 80 Plus Gold Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit with SP1 OEM
Extra fans: NZXT FZ 200mm Green LED Fan x2 Top mounted NZXT FZ 140mm Green LED Fan x1 side mounted
Lighting: NZXT Sleeved LED Cable 200cm Green
Monitor: BenQ XL2411T 24in LED 144Hz Gaming Monitor
-In regards to CPU cooling will the push/pull method work by using the two stock 120mm fans to push air into the radiator which is top mounted and 2 NZXT FZ 200mm Green LED Fans mounted on the top of the case pull air out to act as exhaust?
-Any suggestions on a mid tower case that would fit my black/green colour theme and still fit all my components as room is an issue?
-Any suggestions on a "more bang for your buck" graphics card that balances performance with cost and that would still work with my build/monitor as the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB OC Edition is a bit pricey?
-Is 650W power supply adequate for the system can it accommodate potential over-clocking of the CPU if I decide to later?
Am I missing something for example cables ect?
Open for any suggestions or ideas.
Regards

You could get a Radeon R9 290X instead of the GTX 780 Ti, it's only slightly slower but costs quite a bit less. It also has more VRAM. The Sapphire Tri-X version is pretty good.

You likely want to get some thermal paste such as Arctic Silver 5 or MX4. Also You may want to get a better power supply to leave you more room for upgrades in the future, such as SLI/Crossfire
EDIT: But considering the price difference in a R9 290X and an R9 290 such as this it makes more sense to go with a 290: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/his-video-card-h290qm4gd

Firstly, I have that Motherboard and it Overclocks amazingly for it's price.
I changed the fans to 2x 140mm for the front intakes, 1x 140mm for the Rear Exahust and 2x 120mm for the H100i for air to be pushed through the Rad. You're not missing any cables, however if you're only going to game then the i5 4670k is best and would allow you to spend more on other parts. I also couldn't find the Lighting to put on the list so sorry for that.

Few changes for case,OS,GPU,PSU
GTX 780 is good for games like Bioshock Infinity, Far Cry 3 etc.,
go with windows 8.1 64 Bit., it will supports Direct X 12.
750 PSU is need for stability.

As far as cases, look through these: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/case/#c=13&sort=a8&s=1
But keep in mind going with a mid tower if things will "fit" you will have a lot less room

Thanks for the suggestion i'll look into the R9 290x. In regards to the NZXT 530 Phantom case I love it but I share a desk and don't have much room to work with I will try and make it work but if there was a mid tower case that can fit my black/green colour build that would be helpful.

1866 ram now costs about the same as 1600.
The RM650 PSU is much better than the CS. Or go for the Antec HCG 620M - also made by Seasonic.
I'd use all 120mm fans for push-pull on the h100i - its neater.
There's a few nVidia themed green/black cases around eg :http://www.ebay.com/bhp/nvidia-computer-case
http://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/power-requirements-... recommends minimum 32A on the 12V rail and 600W PSU for a 780Ti system

Thanks for the replies
Okay i'll grab some thermal paste such as Arctic Silver 5 or MX4.
Thanks Sakkura and patrick47018. Wow Sapphire Tri-X version is really appealing and more in my price range $549 from PCCG. It's a long card but with a set up like this should be fine. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/b/LnU
Sapphire Tri-X has "true audio" what does that mean and how can I make use of it?
So in regards to power supply what do you think of Corsair RM-650 80 Plus Gold Power Supply is it enough?
I am not planning to do much over clocking maybe the CPU a little however I did hear that the Sapphire Tri-X can suck some power.
patrick47018 hahaha that memory looks amazing: http://youtu.be/dyT-M8voCEc?t=3m59s I love it!

True Audio means the graphics card has an integrated audio processor, which can enable improved audio effects without affecting the CPU load. It has to be supported by games though, and so far very few games support it (Thief is the first one AFAIK).
The power supply is about right for your system. The Corsair RM series has had some quality issues, but apparently they've been addressed. They otherwise have very high-end features and specifications.

Firstly, I have that Motherboard and it Overclocks amazingly for it's price.
I changed the fans to 2x 140mm for the front intakes, 1x 140mm for the Rear Exahust and 2x 120mm for the H100i for air to be pushed through the Rad. You're not missing any cables, however if you're only going to game then the i5 4670k is best and would allow you to spend more on other parts. I also couldn't find the Lighting to put on the list so sorry for that.
Thanks for the reply why would you go x2 140mm fans in front instead of 1 200mm? How is it better?

my mistakeOh ic there is roughly $120 difference in price between the 2 CPUs I personally am going for the i7 cause I can afford it and I wish to keep this build for potentially 4-5 yrs with perhaps a couple of minor component upgrades along the way.
