There isn't anything wrong with your build, if you are sure you wont be overclocking or running an sli build you did a decent job of keeping your price low on a fairly high end build with mid grade consumer parts.

a few things wrong with that: seagate HDD. seagate has a crap failure rate. here's a study from this year: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2089464/three-year-27-000-drive-study-reveals-the-most-reliable-hard-drive-makers.html
another thing: i need a minimum 4 gig high end geforce card. i won't be OCing this, so i might as well go with the new haswell refresh line. which also means i don't need a cpu cooler, as a 4790 comes with one. also, i'd rather stick with the cobra stuff. it's a good build, but not what i'm looking for.

i was thinking about it, but it's out of my price range. i'm at the edge right now as it is. i will likely add 4 more gigs of ram in the future, though.
