Damn great build,
I'd just switch up the 1070 for a 1080 as you have a little bit o money left, with a 1080 you could reach the 2200 budget limit and would perform amanzingly well on the 1440p 144Hz monitor

Like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814125869

The total of your budget with that change would be around: $2220,00

IMO it's very worth going 1080 instead of 1070 even more that you got a great monitor to pair up with the performance of the 1080

Hehe, I must've put that in as an error manually, maybe I forgot that the cheapest was around $330-360ish!

No need for a D14, a Cryorig H5 is less expensive and performs about the same. That original rig looks very good, solid parts all around.

That's a pretty good build, should suit you well for some time. Where did you find that i7 for $260?

Got to be a typo, I paid $320 for mine at Micro Center.

Didn't change the D14 and yeah that type was made by me, I'll be going to Microcenter to buy most of these parts (as much as I can) Have you ever had to return anything to them? Never really had to deal with them relating to BUILDING a PC. Wanted to know how overall customer service is with them.

This might be the finishing of my build!
