First Gaming PC build

[Spooner15]

So first of all I have done a lot of research looking for/finding parts. This will be my first Gaming build so I just wanted to make sure the research I have done is accurate and I'm not missing something big here. I have a HD that I will be using so thats why it is not part of the parts list.

That is a link to currently what I have planned.

My main questions are:
1. Will the Phanteks CPU cooler keep the 4790k cool? Everything I read about the 4790k is good, but they do say it runs hot. I would prefer to stay away from water cooling for the time being but I have no problem with running a H100i water cooler if needed.

2. Other than that my only questions would be what do you all think of the parts list? Is there anything I should consider changing?

My future plans are; getting another 780ti to run SLI. Possibly a 3rd monitor. And setting up a water cooling system with GPU/CPU blocks.

I do have previous hardware/software experiences with computers such as building/troubleshooting. This will be my first actual Gaming PC build. Any input is appreciated.

Thank You,
Dustin

I would think you would want more than just 128 gigs of storage. You should at least throw in a $54 1TB western digital blue for storage in there.

Edit: I would also go with the 2133 speed ram instead of 2400. I've heard that the 2133 is the "sweet spot" for haswell.

But thanks.

That should be fine but get Artic MX-4 thermal paste. It is a little bit better than Artic Silver 5 and it is non conductive.

RAM speed won't benefit you in gaming unless you use an APU, but hey, fast RAM doesn't hurt.
