nice title mate, but caps dont attract attention anymore 😛 Your mobo is a bit overpriced, but
Nice build, but i think you can do better for nearly 1500 bucks, and there is no need for that bloody 2133 RAM!!!

You should save some money on that motherboard.. that one is overpriced compared for the rest of your build.. You could also save some money on the RAM... 2133Mhz isn't worth it.. You won't notice a thing

With that money you could upgrade your CPU to perhaps an i7 ivy-bridge, or you could upgrade your GPU to 7970?

plus save money on the RAM get DDR3 1600 and make sure its 1.5V

Get a 550W PSU if you dont plan to CF/SLI, if you do take it up to 750W.

Get an ASrock Extreme4 MoBo

used the extra money you get from reducing the other crap and get a better GPU

You should check the length of that video card. Some of the longer cards will not fit in that case.

 

[angaddev]

get the 7970 and for gods sake lose the wayy overpriced mobo and get an Asus Z77-V for $170, and drop the 2133 RAM!
