Feedback on new build.

Just want some feedback on my new build.

Will be used primarily for gaming.

I will be using a miniPCIe to PCIe x1 adapter for soundcard and the
Akasa All-In-One 21 Function Panel to plug my headphones in to it.

Parts I already have

Gigabyte 7970 Windforce
Corsair HX850
Noctua NH-D14
sennheiser pc360
using 50" plasma for monitor

Just need to decide what speed ram to get to go with hazwell cpu.

Thanks

Have a look at the ram below:

I am not sure how good the Asrock is for Overclocking but Asus seems to be the one to go for.

I don't think your PSU is going to fit fella, 160mm is the max length. Might be better to consider the mATX Prodigy instead as they moved the location of the PSU, double check though as it's a new case I'm not 100% sure myself

Get the Soundblaster Z OEM - it's identical except for the cover.

I dont think you need all those fans tbh (and therefore fan controller either),
I dont think you need the soundcard, plug headphones into front panel of pc,
The case has its own window
