Christmas is coming near and I am finally satisfied with my pc build. I wanted to try my best and stay under $2500 dollars. The purpose of this computer was to give me the best gaming experience and also be good for streaming and such.
Please give me advice and suggestions if I have anything that should be changed, since I will be buying this in 2-3 days. Thanks!

What happened to this build?

Anywho, ditch the 4770k for a 4670k and ditch the cooler as those aren't necessary. If you're wanting the CPU to just run cooler then an H60 with a silent fan like a Noctua would be more than what's necessary. Since this is a gaming build you can ditch the i7 because games don't utilize HT.
On that note, I would also drop the exceptionally expensive board for something cheaper like the ASRock Extreme4 Z87 because you'll get the exact same performance for about 100 bucks less.

With the 200 bucks saved get yourself a 780ti. You will get substantial more performance out of that rather than having the i7 with an expensive motherboard.

Also, ditch the Intel SSD and get a Samsung EVO 250GB or a Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB.
 
Yeah, The better GPU killed the price. I don't really mind the fan, it is quite ugly, but I hear performs very well.
And I replaced the motherboard with the one suggested.
 
Eh. Won't do much. Here's the whole build said and done because I might as well buy it tonight.
