Mainly used for gaming (high end games to mid end games), if there's anything that could be improved for better performance/cooling I'm open to suggestions to what it is and your opinion why :)

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (Overclocked to 4.4GHz)
CPU Cooling: Cooler Master Seidon 240M 86.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (Replaced stock fans with 2x Cougar Vortex PWM 70.5 CFM 120mm Fan)
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme6 ATX 1150 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Low Profile 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk (OS)
HDD: 1TB WD 7200RPM, 1TB Seagate 7200RPM
GPU: GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-2GD GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready WindForce 3X 450W Video Card
Case: Thermaltake Overseer ATX Full Tower
Additional fan: Cooler Master R4-L4S-10AB-GP 60.9 CFM 140mm Fan (total of 2 on top of case)
PSU: 750W (forgot brand/model)

FYI I built this for ~$1048 AR/Discounts
 
8.7/10

I am not a fan of closed loop liquid coolers.
16gb RAM is overkill for gaming. 3.3gb is all that will be used is pretty much any game.
Hopefully that PSU is Corsair, Antec, XFX, seasonic. (most important part of PC)

9.5/10 I agree with tiny on closed loop liquid coolers, but you never know when you might need to run like 7 games at once.. 16GB RAM could be useful. Okay, maybe not but I won't deduct for overkill in the machine. Solid build, sir.

What benefits do the Cooler Master 212(example) have over closed liquid coolers?

could have chosen PSU a bit better... SSD is budgeted Mah on the tower and fan choice..

Why get full tower unless you have nice modeling parts like lights, real water cooling, themed colors/good looking parts installed...

 


Price. It offers the same cooling for considerably less cost.
