It feels like you can go cheaper with the peripherals and get a 780 ti instead. Your CPU cooler, I recommend you just get the H100i, but other than that. Everything is good.

Here is what I would go with and I do agree with ZeusGamer that you could save yourself lots of money on the peripherals

There's a few obvious issues with the OP build.


  • ■ i5 >i7 if it's a gaming build. More money on graphics, better value.
    ■ CPU cooler is probably too expensive for it's performance level.
    ■ That's a tonne of very expensive thermal paste, why do you need that much (if any)?
    ■ Maximus VII Impact is out now.
    ■ 16Gb of memory is arguably overkill. That memory in particular is needlessly expensive.
    ■ 1TB SSD is needlessly expensive - how much high performance storage do you need?
    ■ 4Gb GTX770 is fairly pointless. It's not a strong card at 1440P, extra memory adds little. Spend more here and less everywhere else (perhaps wait for GTX900 series).
    ■ Windowed Prodigy wrecks your graphics card temps. You are better off with the vented side panel.
    ■ 860W is miles more than you need (think double). Try a 500-650W (at the most) quality PSU, you'll save loads here.
    ■ The fans are weird. Those are radiator fans. If you wanted them for your cooler, you need 4 at most. If they are for the case, you need a rethink of both the type of fans and the number - a Prodigy needs two case fans (120/140 at the rear, 140/200/230 at the front).
    ■ If you want the best performance from your rad, or to run it in push/pull (which I assume you do) then you need to remove the ODD bay from the case. This means you either can't mount the fan controller, or you mod a fix.
All in all, not great. You might need to go back to the drawing board.

Def wouldn't spend $300 for that headset, if you want a nice headset you'd be much better off buying one made for audio and adding a mic afterwards. You can get some really nice headsets in that price range without paying for Razers brand and unless you're an audiophile you don't need to spend a fraction of this price, $100 will get you headphones with better quality then most people have or need. Never used the mouse so I couldn't comment on it.

I don't really understand what you are trying to do here. It's still horrendously expensive relative to it's performance level (you can do similar performance builds for around the $1000-1500 mark) and it's still got some potential compatibility/appropriateness type issues.

If you are trying to do a gaming PC with a GTX780 as it's primary performance component, you can do it a tonne cheaper - at least half the price.

If you are doing some sort of fantasy type build, or actually want to spend $4000+ then why not stick in an R9 295X2 and a full custom water loop?

I suspect you will have cooling issues if you put the r9 295X2 into the case but here is a build with it anyway

It'd be better to go with a referrence cooler design since you don't want your GPU blowing hot air inside your mITX case. But that's just me.

Why not get a G-Sync monitor instead? Specially the one from Asus? It's 27 inch monitor that is 1440P. Your games are going to be butter smooth with that 780 ti you're gonna pair it with.
