First Gaming PC Build. Advice and Suggestions Appreciated.

[Atrocitus]

Hey there, am planning my first ever gaming PC build and was looking on opinions of my build so far;

Sapphire Radeon HD7970 Vapor-X GHz Edition 3GB
Intel Core i7 3770K 3.5Ghz
Asus Sabertooth Z77
Corsair HX750 v2 750W PSU
NZXT Phantom Enthusiast Chassis
Cooler Master Hyper 612 PWM CPU Cooler
Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 64MB 2TB HDD
Corsair Force Series GS 128GB SSD
G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 PC12800/1600MHz CL10 2x8GB RAM

any suggestions for how to improve upon this build would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Are you overclocking? Country of origin? Any plans on future crossfire? Budget?

Was planning on overclocking if more performance was needed than stock. I am from New Zealand, uhh in the future i will more than likely crossfire and budget isn't so important.

Grab a noctua NH-D14 or a closed-loop water cooler like the Corsair H100i. Other than that, everything seems fine though I you won't see a difference in gaming between 8gb ram and 16gb ram.

Thank you very much!

I wouldn't recommend a closed loop. Although I do agree with the Noctua NH-D14.

Nothing wrong with closed loop. It cools just as good as the noctua, but it doesn't cover a huge part of the motherboard. It allows for ram with large heatsinks.
