In the next year I plan to overclock, liquid cool and crossfire. I know I'll need a bigger power supply. Anything else keeping this from working the way I hope?
Yes.... I'm still a noob.

Yes, there are some issues:
A 4690 is not overclockable. You want a 4690K for that.
Next, a H97 chipset does not allow cpu overclocking. You need a Z97 motherboard for that.
You will need a 1000w psu for cf 290.
If you used a GTX970 I stead, you could sli with 700w

"In the next year I plan to overclock" Then you need to get an unlocked cpu(will have a k and the end of the model like the 4690k) and a Z97 board. Also you are going to want some ddr3 1866 or faster ram.

Thanks
I knew about the K but completely forgot to look for it. Noob..and a little A.D.D...
What do you guys think now.
High quality 1000w psu may be a later upgrade. My budget is starting to hurt.
Current build as follows.
Changed Ram,CPU and Motherboard.
Now what do I have screwed up????

Looks pretty good, can go a few dollars less on the DRAMand kick it up at the same time with the GSkill Trident 2400 set ($87)

GSkill Trident 2400 set ($87)
Is it really going to be faster?
In the reviews.
"Manufacturer Response:
.Dear Customer

We can surely help you reach the rated specifications of the RAM. With the i5-4670K CPU, DDR3-2400 is not guaranteed, but you should be able to reach DDR3-2133."

That might be the same for my build. Also seems like some people are having to fiddle with it to get it as fast as possible. I'm a little intimidated by a couple of the bad reviews.
Thanks anyways.

Yes, I started running these sticks in the 32GB set a little over 2 years ago on my (then) IB 3570K rig, great sticks. Am currently working on a DRAM review of 2400 GB sets and thus far the Tri's are right at the top (testing on both AMD and Intel rigs)
