Need Advice on a planned build.

[JSA45]

I need a new tower for gaming and I'm trying to stick to about $1000. I"m not new to physically building PCs, as I used to do that professionally, however this is the first time I've selected the parts used. Any suggestions/advice would be helpful and appreciated.

The Build is as follows:

Case: Antec One

Mobo: Gigabyte LGA 1150 Intel B85 HDMI SATA 6Gbps USB 3.0 Micro ATX DDR3 1600 Intel Motherboards GA-B85M-D3H

RAM: Corsair Vengance 16GB

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K Quad-Core

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX760 SuperClocked w/EVGA ACX Cooler

PSU: Corsair RM Series 750 Watt ATX/EPS 80PLUS Gold-Certified Power Supply

Storage: Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive

Cooling system: Corsair Hydro Series High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler H60

A note on Pricing: My estimated cost of $1155 is based on amazon prime pricing as I am a member. If you are not a member of Amazon Prime the parts will add up to quite a bit more.

Do you plan to overclock your computer? Because you have a overclockable CPU on a motherboard that does not allow overclocking. Also, you can probably get that build a bit cheaper if you buy from 2-3 different online stores including amazon.

In addition to what numanator has stated, I'll add on some of my own thoughts.
-16gb of ram is overkill and pointless for gaming. 8gb is plenty.
-The RM series aren't that great and have been known to have a good amount of failures. I would go for a different brand or a different series from Corsair.
-The H60 isn't a very good cooler consider the Hyper 212 EVO cools just as well at half the cost.

Thanks Numanator, No I don't plan on overclocking, so I'll look into a different one.
And Thank you realchaos, my parts knowledge is pretty horrible.

a quick question, what GPU would be comparable to the GTX760 but without the uneccesary stuff for overclocking?

 

[realchaos]

Nothing really. All chips are able to be overclocked and you always want an aftermarket cooler on the card no matter what. A reference cooler is louder and does not cool as well.

Pretty much everything realchaos said. You can grab a i5 4690 and a H97 motherboard for about the same price as your CPU+mobo combo

You could probably fit a gtx 770 into the build if you wanted.
