This is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6L9WmG

This is mainly going to be used for gaming and I will overclock.

Should I change anything? Is everything compatible and will everything fit? PCpartpicker says it is compatible but I just wanted to make sure.

By answering you are really helping me a lot.

you can save some money and go with a lower wattage psu like a 750w seasonic for about 100 bucks. You don't need more than that unless you want to run two 780ti's. Even then the 750 might be enough

I'm pretty sure cougar makes better fans than nzxt. Also i would get this power supply instead. Seasonic is arguably the best psu maker in the world.

have you ever considered a decent mechanical keyboard? I personally love the feel much better. I say that because 80 bucks for the one you have listed is a lot of money for a rubber dome switch board.

If you're going to go with two ti's, maybe look into a decent 1440p monitor instead of the one you have listed, just a thought.

The rest you have listed seems ok, just a matter of opinion really

Which mechanical keyboard would you recommend? I would like the cherry mx red switches and my budget for a keyboard is about $100

Red or black is good for gaming, I prefer black for a little more pressure needed to actuate the switch over the Red, but that's personal preference. The browns are the best all around switch IMO.

For off, do you want a full size key board with the nu,ber pad? They make"tkl" or ten key less designs. There's even compact sizes with no number pad or arrows.

This is my updated build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/V9NPvK

I have heard very good things about this power supply and many people recommended it to me so I think I will stay with it. I got some lower profile, high speed ram as well. I know I'm putting a lot of fans in there but I will overclock and I want really good airflow. Also the reason I am getting nzxt fans is because I want the blues to be exactly the same shade.

What do you guys think of it now?

yes, I would like a full sized keyboard with a number pad and I would like macro buttons on it. The arrows are also important to me.

If you want macro buttons you might be limited to razor, Corsair vengeance or the logitech 710+. Out of the 3, I would pick corsair.

There are to many fans in that build.These can be added,

Quote:
Cooling System
Front 2x140mm/ 120mm or 1x200mm
(1 x 200mm included)
Rear 1x140mm (included) / 120mm
Bottom 2x120mm
Side 1x140mm
Top 2x200mm/ 140mm or 3x120mm ->is or/or/or
Interior 1x120mm/140mm ->again or/or

Still a lot,you'll need a fancontroller to get it al working.If you have the 200mm at the front and two of those at the top plus the one 140mmm at the back should you already do good imo.You could always add fans if necessary.

Anotyher thing is the expensive gpu,there are cheaper options,

the zotac has also a 5 year warranty when registered at their site.I would spend a little of the saved money on a 250/256gb ssd.

Those gpus must be less expensive for a reason though. Do you know why?

I know I'm adding a lot of fans and honestly Its partially for looks. My case comes with a fan controller and a fan hub that can use 10 fans. Thanks for the advice though. As for the ssd, I don't really care about loading times that much.

.



less manufacturing costs,
less shipping costs,
less import fees,
maybe they're ok with selling more for less so in the end they make more money?

Just look at some reviews about the other ones too and see how they do.
