Get a 4690k.

GEt a better quality PSU . Antec, XFX, Seasonic. The Corsair Cx units are average at best.

What Headset/ Speakers will you use? I HIGHLY doubt you need the sound card as the motherboard has VERY GOOD onboard audio.

Ok thanks for the reply, I'm going to be using Razer Kraken PRO Over Ear PC and Music Headset

I honestly would drop the sound card. With that headset you will have ZERO difference between it and the motherboard audio.

Alright, I've gotten rid of the Sound card. Thanks though

Good deal. That should save enough money to get a 4690k and a good quality PSU in there.

How is this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B88Z314/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

That is a VERY good unit. It will be great for this system. 650w would be plenty, but 750 won't hurt.

Alright, Thanks for the fast replies btw. Appreciate it

Not a problem.

The rest looks good. Personally I am not closed loop liquid cooler fan, but the h100i is a solid cooler.

I am quite new to this, so I just went with the popular demand. I'm open with other options, What do you have in mind? I'm just looking for a nice quite system.

If quiet is what you want, a liquid cooler is the WRONG way to go. They are much louder than air coolers.

I assume you will be overclocking quite alot based on your build, so I would get a Noctua NH-D15 performs the same or better than the H100i and makes WAY less noise. Is basically silent actually.
