Since the last time i asked i have managed to OC a CPU and not have it explode so thats why im going with a aftermarket cooler. If you do change some of it try to stay near $2400 and if possable keep the mobo and SSD the same (The Mobo because it stops me from some OCD problems and the SSD because of its price.

Good build. Made three changes:

Change the GPU to R9 290x from 780
Change the PSU to Corsair HX650 from RM650
Change the HDD to Seagate 2TB though I wanted to change it to WD drive but they are expensive

Any particular reason for 16GB
For a few dollars more you can get 1866

Personal thing I suppose. I'd prefer the asus 780

Instead of the RM psu, I'd prefer something from Seasonic - HX, AX or Antec HCG620M or XFX 650

I'd rather Asus monitors too.

Otherwise a great build!
