Haswell PC Build: Opinions Needed Please (Time Sensitive)!

[PaulStrife]

I'm finalizing my selections for a PC build; but I have not gone through with one of these in a long while. I was hoping to get some expert opinions on if this is a solid build or if there are areas to improve (if so, how?).

Also, I'm about $400 over budget (after tax); but will ultimately go through with it if I must. If anything can be sacrificed; let me know.

I know I overspent on the PSU; but I wanted a fully modular one, this seemed like a good option.

I'm open to all suggestions!

Cheers!

- I don't plan on overclocking.
- I will be working on a lot of Photoshop, 3DS MAX, and various game engines.

you can cut down on the motherboard by around $20 - http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8041583&CatId=13

Thanks for the feedback; I've been sticking to Canada Computers and Newegg; I completely forgot about tiger direct. I will scan and compare prices.

I only intend to get 1 GPU; I believe the 3X signifies the fan count as part of the Windforce.

I noticed that I listed the wrong motherboard; I definitely meant the Impact. I didn't realize that it has not hit market yet. The wait continues.
