Im not super experienced in building computers and would like some help with some of my parts. id like a computer than can run pretty much any game with a good framerate (above 60)and 1080p or above. id also like to make it o look awesome from the inside( the 760t lol). One of my major concerns is the Water cooler for my cpu, is it going to be loud and will it stand up to overclocking? i am hoping to overclock my build to get some better performance. I would gladly take any suggestions about appearance too. Is it possible to get this motherboard in a blue too? i would like to change the color of the board to blue. thank you!

This will give you the option to SLI. If you don't want to SLI, go with turbo's build. You can add another GTX 970 and double the graphics performance practically when you SLI.

So basically your setup would allow me to upgrade in the future more, im trying to keep this build for a long time and just upgrade it. i think im set with your setup, Thank you! Three last questions, will my power supply support two 970s and will my case be cooled enough? my room gets pretty hot sometimes but the case it out in the open and not on a rug carpet. i want to make sure there are no problems when i go to build this.also, can i add a third card? it wont show me pics of the board when i pull it up on pcpartpicker

The case comes with 3 fans and the top i will be installing the radiator for the h100
(taken from corsair site)
Radiator and fan compatibility:

Top: 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm
Front: 2 x 140mm or 2 x 120mm (2 x 140mm LED included)
Bottom: 1 x 120mm
Rear: 1 x 140mm or 120mm (140mm included)

i could even install another 120mm fan on the top lol, im not gunna tho. but if i find the temperatures are too hot i will replace the fans that come pre installed will higher quality ones, i doubt i will have too tho

i think ill just buy it... its a bit easier and i dont have to worry about itbeing weird... very last thing... im a nervous guy lol... dont want anything to go wrong.. are there any good monitors out there that i could get for around 200 and can be run off of display port...right now, i have a acer monitor and a tv on the wall above it, 23 inch monitor and a 32 inch tv,( tv is run off of vga and my monitor is running off of dvi. both run off of my graphics card), when i get this new computer, i still would like to setup my old computer at another house, so i need a new monitor that can run off of display port and im going to instead run my tv off of hdmi. i found a monitor that fits the needs and it good for gaming but doesn't support display port... either a new monitor or an adapter maybe? any ideas? btw the monitor i suggested is in this updated pcpartpicker list. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wnpVK8

Monitor you picked is not very good. For gaming find Monitor with 1ms response time, for a bit over your budget you can get this Monitor which has 144Hz refresh rate (that means it can display up to 144 FPS) but personally i would buy Monitor with IPS panel they have a bit slower response time but you wont notice it unless you are PRO gamer, something like this if you want a big screen - IPS Monitor

If you needed more fans then check EK vardar fans for the radiator and Bitdfenix Spectre pro's. I looked at a white and blue theme to match the case which may explain a slight price increase over other builds.

That monitor is insane! literally everything in one at a decent price. im gunno go with it. i also am gunna switch with the gpu in HH's build. i do need to use the displayport or dvi to take advantage of the 144 hertz or im gunna go with that card because there is more than 1 display port incase i get another monitor to replace the tv plus a hdmi for the tv i have now. i also switched to a 2 tb drive. im also gunna get led strips for the instide of the computer but im gunna wait until after i build it to decide. if you have any good ones offhand please tell me. Thankyou so much man, i think im set!
