Hello everyone.

This is a first time build and I am looking for advice. The build is going to be used for gaming and working so that is why i have gone with an i7.
I do not want people to tell me it is overpowered for a first time build or anything like that but simply some suggestions that would A, make it cheaper with same power or B, keep at same price with more power.
It is also important to note that this build is designed to run really quiet so when considering suggestions keep that in mind if anything will be loud please tell me Ireally want to keep it quiet. Couple more things, if anything will bottleneck tell me, if it will run too hot tell me or if there are any other problems that can be solved tell me. The rig costs AUD$1900 but I'm assuming this will be much higher once shipping is included.

Here are the specs(from amazon(i live in Australia)):

CM Storm QuickFire Rapid - Tenkeyless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with CHERRY MX Red Switches

Asus VS247H-P 23.6-Inch Full-HD LED-Lit LCD Monitor

Fractal Design Define R4 Cases, Black Pearl (FD-CA-DEF-R4-BL-W)

Intel Core i7-4770K Quad-Core Desktop Processor (3.5 GHz, 8 MB Cache, Intel HD graphics, BX80646I74770K)-------WILL BE OVERCLOCKED TO 4.4GHZ if temps allow.

Again i would like to stress that it needs to be quiet (hence the gigabyte gpu). Thank you in advance to all that reply.
