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.

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=N82E16822149396. Although with any hdd, the bigger the drive, the more unstable it becomes.

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.

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.
