How is this build?

[DirtyPyjamas]

Hey guys, this is my first build and was wondering if I could get some input on the parts I've chosen. I'm aiming for a medium-high end gaming rig.

Get a better quality PSU. One from Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic. Coolermaster PSUs are junk.

Don't get the sabertooth board. The thermal armor is a marketing ploy and actually causes overheating issues. Get something around $150. ASRock Extreme4 or Extreme6 are great options.

An i7 isn't needed for gaming. An i5 performs identical because games do not use hyperthreading.

-i7 won't help much in gaming. The i5-3570k will give similar performance for $100 cheaper.
-Sabertooth's thermal armor is a gimmick and it's overpriced. Grab the cheaper Asus P8Z77-V LK: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-p8z77vlk
-The NXZT doesn't support 200mm fans. Also, I can see that you're going for a white build. You might want some white LED fans.
-Not so great psu, you would want a 850w if you plan to crossfire as 750 is cutting it really close. A corsair psu will be much better

Something along the lines of this:

It's actually cheaper if you buy everything from newegg. You get -$40 from the cpu+mobo combo, so it totals to about $1300. Not sure how many fans you want/the case supports. I just put in two 140mms.

That's a good rig but the extra case fans are worthless until you actually have the case in your possession. You can only buy as many fans as your case has mounts for and the size does matter.s

Yes I know that the case will only support a limited amount of case fans and it is limited to 140/120mm fans. It would be easier if he buys the fans after getting the case, but if you do enough research you can find how many fan slots you have and of what size. I'm just too lazy :|
