I would say you have yourself a gamer. I don't see a thing that needs changing, looking some kind of good if your budget can handle it.

no reason for an 850 psu unless your planning sli soon. 550 will be enough
change out the stock fans on the h100i as they are loud, some corsir sp editions are great and quiet
you dont NEED 16gb, doesnt hurt tho
the sabertooth doesnt have that quick overclock, i believe the pro and deluxe do.

around 2k give ore take a few hundred, using my toshiba 55 inch around 100 fps and i play lol skyrim diablo cs others

The Pro does for sure ( I am Using one ). The 850 is a bit of overkill, but didn't say anything as I am running one.

[187Flatliner]

[bakeram4]

why did you change the motherboard i had?

 

[187Flatliner]

why did you change the motherboard i had?

if your overclocking and have never done it this board has the "easy" 1 step simple overclock explained here.

[bakeram4]

video says you can over clock any z87 easy though?

 

[187Flatliner]

Yeah but on the pro and deluxe you just tell it to start and it does it for you.

 

[187Flatliner]

but hey i have the sabertooth and it was easy enough and i love the look of the sabertooth anyways. I just wish it wouldve came with that program tho.

 

[bakeram4]

oo i would have to do is manually?

 

[187Flatliner]

if you get the sabertooth yes you would have to manually overclock, if you get the pro or deluxe version then no as you would have that program.

I presume your TV is 1080 and can display 60fps max (irrespective of 200Hz marketing etc).

Your build is awesome, but way overkill for any game at 1080 60fps.

 

[bakeram4]

what are some other case options and i want to be able to do anything i choose at any moment

really depends on what your liking....if you want a full/mid/micro/itx....

 

[bakeram4]

will fit eveything i want in it not cramped and a clean design none of that space look stuff and maybe a window

 

[187Flatliner]

then that 750d is good. unless you want a different look.

 

[187Flatliner]

i love my case and its the haf x version 2

 

[187Flatliner]

 

[bakeram4]

something closer to the cosair 750
