Right guys, I have built a PC which I will be ordering in 2 months and I just have a couple of final questions and also advice or any changes :)

Here are the questions-

-Is everything compatible?

-Will everything fit in the case?

-Will the PC be bottlenecked by any parts?

-Will it over heat?

-Will the PSU be enough?

-Any changes you would recommend?

Here is the RIG :)

-Case- NZXT Phantom 530 full tower case.

-CPU- Intel Core i7 4770

-GPU- Nvidia GeForce GTX 780ti Matrix

-Motherboard- EVGA Z87 FTW

-PSU- Corsair builder series CX750W Modular 80 Plus Bronze

-CPU Cooler- Akasa AK-CC4013EP01 Nero 3 V2

-HDD- Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB

-SSD- Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB

-OperatingSystem- Windows 8.1 Pro

So that's the RIG and I will take any kind of criticism as long as you can help me, therefore I shall wait and see :)

Thanks Guys :)
 
Heres a suggestion.

The cooler i agree is pricey. But its the only AIO 280mm cooler available and is very good. Going with the larger 810 switch case give you more watercooling options in future. Likewise with the gaming bundle with the 1000w psu if you decided to go sli in future

The switch 810 isn't a great case for the price, especially compared to things like the 750D/760T and Enthoo Luxe at the same price range :p
Do agree with the Kraken being overpriced, the Antec 1250 is considerably cheaper and delivers similar performance, same with the Corsair H105 and the 280mm rad will prove to be problematic while trying to source decent static pressure replacement fans should the need arise
£10 less for a Seagate Barracuda 1TB and barely any performance drop
MX100 256GB SSD is £74.99 atm, excellent value
 
hate to be an ass but...

in 2 months!?

tbh, come back in 2 months to ask. i say that because tech and prices change a lot in 2 months. what we spec now won't necessarily be the best/best bang-for-buck in 2 months

Well said, prices are always changing, you never know one of the components in your spec might be on weekly sale, worth the wait imho.
