Hey everyone I have finally picked everything for my computer. He is what I have chosen http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Gr9T Can anyone tell me if what I have chosen is a good system and if I need to change anything? Hope to get some good advise! Thanks!

If it is for gaming:

Get an i5 not an i7
Get 8gb RAM, not that overpriced 16gb.
Get 120gb SSD
USe saved money to get a gtx780 not gtx770. (then you can actually use the 144hz of your monitor.)

+1 for the tiny voices' suggestions. I'd add a couple more:

- No need to spend up on the "Pro" SSD, the Samsung EVO is much cheaper and you'll never notice the performance difference. It looks better in reviews, but consumer usage just never lets SSDs stretch their legs.
- Why the additional case fans? Your case comes with 4 already I believe? And with the Liquid cooled CPU, the only substantial heat in your case will be coming from the GPU, which is hardly an oven. I'd save your $40 there.
- You could definitely get a cheaper cooler too if you wanted.
- I'm not sure about the fan controller myself either.

With all those savings, you must approaching 780ti territory... which, as noted above, makes your target of 144fps much more likely.
