I need help with build a gaming computer?

Question

Hello, I would like some help building my first gaming computer. This computer will be around 1500$ and will be as money efficient as possible. The theme i want is a black computer with a red trim and lights. The build i have in currently have in mind is this:

Intel Core i5-4690K
Intel 530 Series 240GB SSD
ASUS ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-PRO (Wi-Fi AC)
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (i only want a card that can run high end games at 1080p and between 45-60 fps so if there's something cheaper and does just that would be great)
Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard drive
Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 RAM
Corsair GS700 power supply
Corsair H100i
Corsair SP120 Quiet fans
Cooler Master CM Storm Scout II case

I want to keep the case cause it has a removable top to fit the large radiator for the Corsair H100i and the quiet fans will replace the noisy ones that come with the H100i. I based my build off a one year old video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roFb3TNePIg) and added some parts from a guide i found online (http://elitegamingcomputers.com/top-gaming-computers/) and this is what i got.

Any feedback would be great and if there is a part that fits better with my build then don't hesitate to comment. Currently my build is valued at about $1,912.54 CA (Amazon) and i would like to bring that down to 1500$ without losing much performance. Also if there is a site where i can get the parts for even cheaper then add that to your comment as well. Thanks in advance.

Answer 2

Rather than Yahoo, try visiting computer forums and asking there. They'll give you much more insight man. Or run down to your computer store and simply ask, those guys know a lot when you're on a tight budget.
