I'd say get the i7 with the "K". You'll really appreciate it in 2-3 years when you'll want to OC it a touch.

Definitely go with Windows 7, it's just hands down way better and easier to use.

Is it me, or do you not have a CPU cooler on the list? I highly recommend the Corsair h100i.

If you're gaming at 1080p, the 2gb 770 is just fine. Anything higher and I'd recommend the 4gb one, that again, you'll really appreciate more in a year or two. If watchdogs is any indication, newer games will need more than 3gb of VRAM.

If you don't plan on doing SLI, near future, or again in 2-3 years with another 770 (will be a great idea - trust me), the 850w power supply is more than you need. Personally I'd keep it, so you can add another 770...

no need for a i7 if gaming,
get 500gb ssd and skip the hdd, you love the speed.
psu is to expensive, get 600w for you pc. and the rm series from corsair is silent, consider other gold psu that cost less if you dont need it to be silent.
the case decides if you are going the quiet route. like fractal design r4 has sound dampening foam inside.

I've got many people telling me W8 is really getting better.. the 500GB SSD is very expensive and i need more space.. I've chosen some powerful components to make it last more years.. then, despite some "overkilling" components, everything will work fine together, in your opinion? Compatibility issues scare me a bit..

Also, that's a good looking case.

Nice build.

You most likely will not overclock any time soon. But with any major purchase, you need to see its value years from now. With a good build, in 3-4 years there will be no reason to replace everything or get a whole new system. But with better parts to start with, you can keep what you have, and keep it working well for much longer. That's why I recommed the "K".

A stock cooler "WILL" work. But for the system you're building, you're better off (in my eyes) spending the extra $100 and ensuring it will run well and cool, and thusly extending its life.

Spend a little more now, save a lot more later.
