That's a respectable looking setup. I think you mentioned you got a SSD on team speak a couple of weeks ago. If not, I'd definitely recommend picking up a SSD and putting your operating system and your most played games on it. And if you can find one on sale, the 4gb version of the 770 might be the smallest bit more future proof, but no difference in most games as of today. EVGA has amazing customer service if you ever need it.

All around though, looks like a nice build. Good luck.
 
The 4790s will be out in June running at 4.0ghz stock so that might be worth looking at, they'll be running the same price as the 4771 is now. Or you could get the 4771 from Microcenter for a cheaper price when that comes out and put that money to a better video card.

Other than that you seriously need a SSD.
 
Power Supply is overkill but good for future upgrades. Your probably only going to be pulling 300 watts off the 12 volt at full tilt. Looks good I mean my only comment would be did ram prices keep going up or something? :p Still rocking 16GB of ram from 3 years ago which was like 90 bucks.
 
Good build. I have the exact video card. Two suggestions. 1. Consider sixers advice. 2. consider spending a touch more and getting the 4gb version of the 770 for future proofing.

Not bad Fearless!

Personally I would take a look at the Corsair 450D case, it's only about 1.5" shorter in length and has better airflow apparently. Plus it is about $65/$70 cheaper. That difference could be put towards an SSD or more RAM.

Also as said go for the Core i7-4790 which is out now and consider the EVGA FTW 1150 which is also about $30-50 cheaper than the ASUS and imo looks better :P
 
I have an Intel 180gb SSD sitting on my desk at home which I got for 50 bucks and taco bell from a friend lol I appreciate all the advice guys definitely look into full case and the CPU and that 4gb gpu and those Mb aswell

I got 2 19 inch acers I like em. When I want to watch a movie I turn on my big screen TV. Really I only know brands I got the Acers cause they were cheap and was impressed and I imagine that a Samsung monitor should be as good as there televisions.
