I'm looking to build my first gaming rig for a budget around $2000 or less. The current parts I have selected are as followed:

Case: NZXT Phantom 410 Mid Tower
SSD: 250GB Intel 530 series
HDD: 2TB WD Caviar black
RAM: 16GB (2x8) Corsair Vengeance
MOBO: Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 7
CPU: i7-4970k
CPU Cooler: Corsair h75 or h100i
GPU: GTX 780
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750w 80Plus gold

If you have a better/equal performance build for less, or something you feel is more appropriate, It would be great to know about. I plan on using this pc on my 50in 1080p led tv but may get at least one 4k monitor in the future. I will be overclocking the cpu, hence the water cooler. Thanks for the help!
