Hi what I want in this build is atleast an i5 4690K and a pretty good graphics card that has no less than 4GB of VRAM, 16GB of RAM 4x4, I want an Asus 144HZ 1080P Monitor, Corsair 2100 Headset. I want a Corsair Case and a Black and Blue themed build. I want to max out all games at High-Ultra with maybe more than 60FPS. I will OC the CPU and GPU a little bit.

The TX3 is a lot better than the stock cooler, but you're not going to get a very good overclock with it.
That EVGA Nex psu is not very good. Believe it or not the $49 EVGA in my build is WAY better.
There would have been no performance difference between the RAM.

Yeah, i've seen that before. It does look cool but I have my little brothers, and my parents wouldnt really let me do that. Are there any wall mounted cases other than Lian Li? They're very expensive.
