First time building a computer. Money isn't really an issue, but I feel like this could be nearly the same with cheaper parts or I simply picked some silly shite. How hard did I fuck this up ?

anon-kun, you do realize you are payin $200 for a shitty windows 7 home, right?
Read the sticky

don't get overclocking capable cpu and mobo if you're uncertain if you want/need to overclock.
the intel processor will suffice enough for the coming years to not bottleneck your gpu with directx12 heading.
this also means no 25$ cooler required. 120$ could be saved by that

If you're gonna OC, sure.
>CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($24.29 @ OutletPC)
Always good.
>Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($116.99 @ Amazon)
fine
>Memory: Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($26.99 @ Newegg)
$30 more for 16GB, if money isn't an issue, may as well go for it. Make sure its CAS 9.
>Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($65.89 @ OutletPC)
fine
>Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card ($324.99 @ B&H)
Look into an r9 390 if noise and heat isn't an issue. Better bang for buck.
>Case: Fractal Design Define R4 (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case ($84.99 @ Directron)
Fine
>Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($48.98 @ Newegg)
I always recommend a Seasonic M12ii PSU, but I am sure this will work fine.

Pirate 7. Or get a legit key for like $40 on ebay
>Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition 67.8 CFM 140mm Fan ($17.48 @ OutletPC)
These are nice.

Don't ever get Acer anything. try this:
http://www.amazon.com/VS239H-P-1920x1080-DVI-D-Back-lit-Monitor/dp/B008DWITHI/?tag=logicaincrem-20
All suggestions.
You should be good anyways.
Get an SSD.

>Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
If money isnt an issue, get something like a 500gb SSD and an external drive.
>Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
You dont get cucked by Nvidia only if you buy 980ti. Get 390 or 380x instead.
>Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 OEM (64-bit) ($199.89 @ OutletPC)
Just get 10 you eventually will have to anyway for dx12

Yeah I took that out and posted before the edit. Was going to get disc off a friend.
>>53921616
What should I swap the processor out if I'm not going to OC.
>http://www.amazon.com/VS239H-P-1920x1080-DVI-D-Back-lit-Monitor/dp/B008DWITHI/?tag=logicaincrem-20
Thanks for the heads up
Was thinking of getting an SSD for the OS. Mechanical for the rest of my shit.
>>53921655
390 or 380x. Got it.
You should get a think station case

>What should I swap the processor out if I'm not going to OC.
Get a Xeon E3 with Hyperthreading.
You should get at least a 120 gb SSD for OS and some gaymes
If shekels aren't an issue get a 256gb one
