get faster ram modules atleast 1866mhz
why do you need a 760watt psu for that build , you dont need that much unless you are doing SLI

It's already been purchased, so your comment is irrelevant.


Build looks fine to me.

If your serious about overclocking you may want to go for a high end cooler like the TC14PE-BK which will perform much better than the 212 EVO.

And I wouldn't recommend WD Blacks, they barely perform any better in gaming compared to Blues. (Use the saved money to go for an SSD with more capacity)

Nice build. Someone did their homework. Well done.

I do plan to do SLI, not right now but later on in the future i hope to without upgrading much else. I got the PSU for cheaper than the 650w i was looking at so i just said heck with it.
I wanted to go high end on some things so if i do want to go semi-all out all i need is another GPU and double my RAM.
Thanks Kwa-e, i didnt know that about the WD blacks, just reccommended by a friend
Now my biggest choice... Asus strix 970 or MSI gaming 4g twin frozr 970. The MSI is so pretty but i know i can trust ASUS.
How hard would it be to disassemble the strix and spray paint the fan housing red?
thanks for your help everyone!

RyhDerr, let's eliminate the use of expletives going forward shall we? It's a TOS violation and beyond argument. Thanks.

Also, I'd ditch the EVO and go with this cooler which performs much better and doesn't have the weak mounting system:
