A few notes:
Gaming PC only, although not competitive (hence the IPS monitor, although i have also considered the BenQ XL2411T 120/144Mhz).
Will look at OC-ing in future (hence K series CPU and H100i cooler).
Will probably SLI the 780 in future (hence the PSU).

Looking for a check on compatibility, value for money, a good base for future upgrades and to see if there's any random items (wires/cables/fans) that i need but have forgotten to include as this is my first build. Order will go in today if not!

Thanks in advance.
 
Many thanks for the replies.

Point taken reference the soundcard: deleted. I have had a look at the HERO and it seems that the onboard audio is quite well regarded. Looks like a good swap.

I think i'll see what the stock fans are like before i look at replacing them though.

Many thanks.
