Is this a good build? are there any expenses that could get lower for the same performance? What kind of gaming performance will this get on newish games like Titanfall and what kind of settings will get me looking great around 45-60 fps?

The liquid cooler is strictly optional . You cna get all the cooling you need with a CM Hyper 212 air cooler costing a third as much

I would color match the RAM to the mb heatsinks .

Its a great pc

I'd say throw out that wifi adapter and try to find a little higher RAM for more intensive tasks, but this build would definitely pass 45-60 fps on new games lol

I would actually like to keep the wifi adapter... I do a lot of things online and transfer large files frequently, so it's in my best interest for now

I'm guessing you can't use wired connection then?
Why not just get a better MB in the first place with it built in :-

Motherboard: Asus Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac) ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($207.98 @ SuperBiiz)

The wifi adapter and motherboard are cheaper than with built in, even if only by around 20 dollars. I just want the performance of awesomeness with a moderate price, and I'm already pushing what I want to spend.

Wired is faster and more dependable than wireless
