I've changed up my build slightly and I'll explain my choices:

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/suicidalkatt/saved/3FZo

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($249.99 @ Microcenter)
CPU Cooler: Swiftech H220 55.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (Purchased For $99.00)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($159.99 @ Microcenter)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($169.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk (Purchased For $145.00)
Storage: Toshiba 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($99.99 @ Microcenter)
Storage: Toshiba 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($99.99 @ Microcenter)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB Video Card (Purchased For $0.00)
Case: Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case (Purchased For $159.99)
Power Supply: Corsair Gaming 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (Purchased For $0.00)
Total: $1123.94
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Parts that I've changed:
  • CPU Cooler - H220 recently just became available and I just had to get my hands on one. (Price just skyrocketed up to $135 * dusts shoulders *)
  • RAM - The RAM I had previously was a bit high on voltage which I felt wouldn't work well with the Haswell chip and overclocking would be a bit of trouble.
  • SSD - Changed to the Samsung 840 Evo due to its amazing performance and its currently very close in price to the PNY I had listed previously.
