Looks solid for the most part...

The only thing I see is:

Not sure why you are getting 32GB of ram...if you use more than 16GB than go for it, otherwise, get 8/16GB. You also didn' mention its speed. I would go for 2133MHz as that is your best bang for your buck and performance.

I agree with E_D about the ram. What all will you be using the pc for that you think you would need 32gb of ram? If it is just for gaming 8-16 would be plenty.

But it does look like a solid build. I love the 540 case.

Looks like a pre-built machine from CyberPower or something similar.
Why not build yourself instead of wasting money for someone else to build it?

I would suggest getting a motherboard with a PLX chip if you plan to go TRI-SLI on Z97. Otherwise you will be running 8/4/4. Much better to run 16/8/8 on a board with a PLX chip. Especially if you will be benching where you want every last point in your scores that is possible.

If you went X99 with a 5930K you could run 16/16/8 or on a board with PLX 16/16/16.

I don't suggest you do that though as the price premium is not worth the meager returns.

You quoted me and didn't post anything...

I had 32GB just sitting around from my last Machine. The speed is 1866.

I hope your surgery and recovery go well
