So after a lot of research, I built a computer to suit my needs and allow for easy upgrades in the future. I was hoping to get some feedback before I actually go place my order. I'm just looking for anything that might stand out for compatibility issues or simply what you think about the build (even to say it's good to give me peace of mind knowing I won't have any issues when I go to assemble it).

Before I list the specs, I'd just like to mention that I made this build for running ArcGIS software, which benefits from the Hyper Threading of the Core i7 Processors. For those not familiar with the software package, it is mapping software that can process large amounts of spatial data both in 2D and 3D. Lastly, I'm not a fan of the case I list below, but due to space constraints of my current computer desk and living quarters, this case is the only one I could find that was short enough (needs to be 17 inches or less).

CPU: Intel Core i& 4790K
Motherboard: MSI Z97 MPOWER
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 270 2GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 1600mhz
PSU: Ultra X-4 750 Watt Modular Power Supply V2
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 Mid Tower ATX Case
SSD: PNY Optima Series 240GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
OS: Windows 8.1 (Home/Regular)
Fans: SilenX EFX-12-12 Effizio Silent Case Fan (x2) and SilenX EFX-12-15T Effizio Silent Thermistor Edition Case Fan (x1)
CD/DVD Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST 24X Internal DVD Burner
Monitors: ASUS 24" Class LED Monitor (VS247H-P) (x2)

I'm just debating whether or not to get two monitors or one - I would save $50.00 on the sale which ends today. All of this hardware can be found on tigerdirect's Canadian website where I will be purchasing it. Price listed in the title is after tax. Thanks!

Well done, very nice looking build!
First off, I would suggest you swap out that power supply to this:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151107
(although this is personal preference, myself, i would go with the Seasonic unit over the ULTRA from experience and never having an issue with thier PSUs)

As well, You're going to need to pick up a CPU cooler if you plan on doing any overclocking (which i assume you are since you have an unlocked processor)

If You want to go air cooling (cheaper) i would grab one of these:

or Water:

Overall though it's a very nice build and you should be very happy with it :)

Best of luck with your build!!
