Why are you using a locked motherboard(can't overclock) with an unlocked CPU(made for overclocking). If you want to OC keep the cpu and get a Z97 or Z87 board. If you are not planning on overclocking get the 4790 instead of the 4770k.

correct me if I'm wrong, but Ive heard that the 3tb seagate barracuda drives don't last long and fail pretty frequently.

That's news to me. Then again, I no longer buy HDDs for myself.

Also you don't need a sound card as almost all sound chipsets on your motherboard will outperform a sound card pci. This video explains more in detail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1rXcJuEsy0

Realtek ALC887 on that board is meh...

I agree though a lot of the newer boards have the ALC1150 which is hard to beat.

Also you are getting a 780 ti with a 60hz 1080p monitor which is a tad overkill since for most games you could get easily over 60 fps with a 780ti, so you could go with the 24 inch 144hz 1080p monitor from asus.

What should I get as a 3TB HDD and also what is a good unlocked Motherboard? Lastly, I'm going to be running very intense games, I don't want to loose any screen size and this Build is already breaking the bank so I can't really afford to raise.

It would be safer and less hassle if you set up a RAID of 3 1Tb hard drives, it'll cost you about ~50$ more with less likely one would fail because smaller size hard drives don't fail as often as 1 bug hdd.

Ok, I just wanted to point it out that and can see why you want the big scene size :)

This is a small case, The fact that I'm already Jamming the current parts into this case is a miracle. I just want to know if there is a more stable 3TB HDD out there.

The only one I can find for reasonable price is the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168.... Although with any hdd, the bigger the drive, the more unstable it becomes.

Surprised its Toshiba since I had problems with their laptop HDD's.

Ah, Ok. Also looks like I might have fixed the motherboard Overclcoking issue as well I watched that video by Tek Syndicate. In the next hour or so I should be posting my revised version of this build on this forum for you guys to review. Thanks.

Looks good, you could probably do a little over clocking if you wished. Another option if you wish waiting on ordering the cpu, you could get the devils canyon i7 4790k but only if you want, it will be available around june 26th to order. I have also see that your decided you are going with a sound card.

Well I have an extra slot just in case I need to buy a sound card, Also I heard Devil's Canyon is June 14th, Lastly I have at max $2300 to spend on this and I wanted to buy LG G3, So I probably Couldn't Afford one. Though I want it badly. Thanks man.

At computex, Asus got up to 5.49Ghz on all 4 cores, but that was cooled with liquid nitrogen I think...

Damn. See because of those 5Ghz+ Clock Speeds at a $300 Price point Makes the the i7 4790K perfect Consumer CPU for the money. Since I originally Wanted AMD's 4Ghz CPU that can hit 5Ghz But that was $800.

What processor is that, their fx-9590 4.7 ghz 8 core cpu costs 330$ which is their most expensive cpu.
