Hi Tom'sHardware,
I'm new to the PC world, as well as this site. Right now, I'm in the market for a gaming PC. I'd prefer to build my own. I wanted to know, how is this $1350 build I put together? I used pcpartpicker.com to put it together.

Are there any areas where I can improve? I will be pushing the i5-4690K to about 4.2-4.4 Ghz. I want the most silent, powerful, and efficient computer I can build at this price point. If you'd like to move things around, then you may do so. I'd like to spend a minimum of $1000 and a maximum of $1375. I will upgrade in the future to SLI, so the power supply and motherboard must support that. I also will later upgrade to Broadwell, so a Z97 motherboard is pretty much essential. Keep in mind that the theme is red and black, however, I'd like to keep the graphics card part (Gold Edition MSI 970).
Lastly, I want to make no comprises whatsoever. I want the build to be as balanced as possible in all aspects. So that is also a necessity. Thank you for your time.
