This is a build i have been puting together for a few days now i was wondering if anyone here had any recommendations on any changes i could make to add more power without adding much more cost i'd like to keep it around the $800 range. Here is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zBgHpg if you find a part that you think i should get please post a direct link to the part.

If you're not going to OC, than how about this? Swapped the CPU for the non-unlocked version so it cannot be OC'd but performance is otherwise the same. Allowed me to bump up the GPU again.

How about this? It has a better GPU and PSU, also you're going to need a CPU cooler if you want to overclock.

As far as replacing the case goes, if you're not going to OC you don't really need an aftermarket cooler and if you want to add one to bring down temps/noise than you could find a LP option. The Corsair 200R and 300R are both fantastic cases though.

Asrock made very good quality boards. The Fatal1ty H97 Performance and the H97 Performance are the same board by the way. Of all the H97 boards I would choose the H97 Performance if I didn't want M.2/SATA Express and the H97 Killer if I did.

Noctua is a brand of cooler that are excellent but expensive and MeteorsRaining is saying that if you go with an overclockable build the Spec-03 is not a good choice as it doesn't fit most tower coolers. I agree with this but if you are going for a non-OC build than the Spec-03 is a fine choice.
