hi nedyahiske ,

your build is awesome But OverPriced Alot it can be as powerful as it is now and cheaper. and i noticed that you want a bit RED pc , but we will switch it to a bit blue. lol just according to the new parts

- the case is perfect can't say any word about it.
- switch this motherboard with gigabyte UD5H it's high end board and much cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128545
- switch this gpu with this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202001
- switch the ssd with the samsung 830 it is way better.
- the ram will be switched with this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233170&Tpk=CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9B and believe me the overclocked ram will not give you any superiority in gaming maybe gaining 2 fps MAX !
 

Great build that motherboard is a bit overpriced but all is compatible so your good to go. :D

That's not bad. I'm not a fan of closed liquid loops like the H100, and the Asus Matrix takes up three slots so it's not really a good choice for the 7970. I think the Asus Formula is too expensive - you could drop that and pay $100 less, and that SSD is not that great.

The difference will allow you to get a nice monitor or whatever else you need.
