Hello, I have been working on deciding what would be best and what I want in my next PC for a few months now. I am looking for outside opinion on any mistakes I could be making here or just any suggestions you may have. Im no expert on anything about PC's but after buying a prebuilt PC with a fx4130 CPU and radeon 6670 GPU for $800 I have done lots of research into what is actually good. In this build if you couldn't tell i'm going for a green theme and the nzxt h440 razer is the case that best accommodated this, I'm not a razer fanboy so if anyone knows any good non razer green themed cases let me know. Hardware wise in this build i'm trying to make a PC that will be able to run all new AAA tittles at 1080p ultra or close to it at 60fps, and be future proof which is why I went with the 6700k and ddr4 memory instead of the 4790k and ddr3.
Any comments, suggestions, and criticisms are very welcomed.

You might want some faster RAM which may benefit some games. These 1.2V 2800's are nice:

A 650W PSU will be plenty unless you think you may do SLI one day.

I would wait for Pascal before investing in a 980ti.
I think you did a very nice job with the build you have created. Is it future proof? Heck, yes! That would be a beast of a computer that you ought to be able to enjoy for many years to come.

Also, I noticed you didn't have an Operating system listed, so don't forget Windows 10. :)

If you can afford it, go for it! I think you will be very happy with it.

Best of luck to you!
 
The h440 is good, but you could also go with an RGB case (they are a bit price-y, but they look fantastic). If you put that much stock into how something looks, you could look up some of those. The one that comes to mind immediately is the Phanteks Evolv ATX. But, it is even more than the NZXT H440 you're looking at.
To answer your question, for your price you are getting the best machine you can. The only other thing I would do would be to search around for some higher clocking ddr4. Not going to effect your gaming experience, simply a thought. I believe you can get 16GB of G.Skill ddr4 @ 2400 for $60.
