Hey guys, I'm about to buy this build and i'm just wondering if it's missing something. here are the parts:

GPU: Asus GTX770-DC2OC-2GD
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K / 3.4 GHz (can this multi task heavily or should i consider a 4770k?)
MOBO: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
Cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H105 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Case:Corsair Carbide Series 500R
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro Series
PSU: Corsair RM Series RM750
Software: Windows 8.1
SSD:Samsung 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD128 (HDD:WD Blue WD10EZEX)
OD: Samsung SH-224DB

So that's my build, obviously i'm hoping it'll run every game and the games to come on the highest possible settings. Thanks

Interesting analogy............ either way, my personal choice comes from my experience, you may feel otherwise, but it doesn't make these clc units a bad choice. There is a reason sites like Tom's use them when overclocking their test systems, because they work.

Are you buying this from a custom pc maker or are you building it yourself?

If you're building it yourself, you can build it for less then $2000, I'm including a i7 4790k and 290x which is faster than a 770 and I'm under $2000. You can make it even cheaper by dropping to a 4690k and 290 which will be killer for gaming.

I have an h100i in my rig not because it offers substantially more cooling than a high end air unit but because it doesn't stress the motherboard with all the weight.

I had an old 775 rig with a TT Cooler that damaged my motherboard when I moved it. I rather not risk a damaged motherboard even if it costs me an extra $20. Plus it becomes much easier to work on your rig with all the open space afforded by the small pump.
