Ok so I'm thinking of adjusting this build(first time building btw) I think I want to replace the monitor with a $299 144HZ monitor Since I heard it was worth it(it is worth it over 60HZ right?)

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fjYJgs

It cost $1300 from multiple shops but I'm getting everything from microcenter
I calculated the prices at Microcenter which adds up to pretty much exactly $1400(some of the parts cost more or less there, the video card cost $440 at MC)...Not sure if that includes a warranty for the parts. I want to keep the build Under or Mabye a tad over 1400 but keeping it at around the same performance is key.

As for the graphics card I don't want anything much less powerful, I want to be able to take advantage of the 144HZ...Mabye the case could be modified too...Also not sure about the power supply(it cost $105 at MC)...Or mabye I should just keep what I have and stick with the 60HZ?..I mean I could always upgrade the TV Later down the line. I'll accept any recommendations that anyone has whether its with the 60hz or 144hz in mind. Also I won't need any other parts right now right? Not sure if I need a network adaptor...I have wireless comcast internet...that should work without any peripherals right? How about thermal paste? And the mobo has sound right so I won't Need a sound card or speakers? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to cover all of my bases before I spend the $

I personally don't think 144Hz monitors are worth the money.

I'd prefer the ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 per http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mainstream-gaming-z...

The rest of the build is OK.

You'll need a wifi card eg Asus N15

No. You just need a good 650W power supply. The supernovas are good. You'll be fine.

I don't think so, unless I'm unhappy with the performance...although considering I'm used to gaming on consoles at 30fps and my laptop sometimes in the 20's I don't think I will be.

and the ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 has 3 pci slots right? Thinking of getting this wifi card

That's a good dual band card. Got a dual band router too? If not, just get a 2.4GHz card
