Hi all, This is my first time to build my own rig and I have been looking for components for quite some time now and I came up with this build.

This Build

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690 3.5GHz Quad-Core
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SOC ATX LGA1150
Video:Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB WINDFORCE
Memory: Kingston HyperX Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866
Storage:Kingston HyperX 120GB 2.5" SSD
Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM
Western Digital 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Power: Thermaltake 850W ATX12V / EPS12V
Case: Cooler Master HAF XB (Black) ATX Desktop
Monitor: Samsung S27A650D 27.0"
CPU Cooling: Cooler Master Nepton 140XL Liquid/Water CPU Cooler

I have a couple of questions regarding this build

1. Is this going work fine all together with no bottlenecks? Is there any overpowered components?
2. Do I need the liquid cooling or not? (if not I will replace Nepton 140XL with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler)


Just note that some parts I picked based on availability in my country!

Appreciate your help :) 

Cheers

1. yes it will work without any bottleneck .
2. you don't need a pro cooler at all because you have an locked CPU

but I can make a better build for you (if you don't mind dude :)  )just give my the budget and your using of that PC

Sure I am open for all suggestions, my budget is USD 2,000 Maximum. However I don't like AMD and I don't like ATI and I know that AMD can be cheaper :D 
Also I was thinking of replace the Gigabyte WINDFORCE with ASUS GeForce GTX 770 DirectCU II OC 2GB. I just read it is quieter and cools better.

Thank you for your build dude, you made me realize how most of my cp,ponents are based on price and availability in my country! I think I will reconsider my build again.

Just quick question are all of the changes in your build based on price/performance or some of them just personal preference

Cheers

Well I am not sure about OC so I guess I am not planning to at the moment.

For the HAF XB it looks good for me and it is worth $110 in my country. I will still have my old pc so it will not be a good idea to stack both next to each other. I will just put the box on the desk next to me and the old tower on the floor to keep my view clear

I discovered that mid range components are the same price as the US however high end on the other hand way cheaper. But still I can only ship small parts only bigger ones will cost a lot to ship.
