Yeah but swap it out with the ram I have in the build I posted, no use getting 8gb when you're going to be spending that much money, it's only $20 more. Otherwise it looks great, you definitely didn't need to spend that much on a mb.

I don't know why you picked the 770, when the 970 outperforms it. You also don't need that much wattage on your psu, although not a bad pick for one. And you could get more and faster ram for the same price, so why wouldn't you. I also took out the optical drive, I don't see any foreseeable use for one in a gaming pc.

Funnily enough I have the same storage and case configuration as you, the haf x is one great tower, you won't be upset with it at all :)
