Opinions on New PC Build

You can just use VGA if it's easier. The resolution will be fine for your needs. I have a TV connected to an HTPC across a large room and I'm too lazy (or cheap) to get and HDMI cable. The benefit is use HDMI for your monitor and VGA for the TV.

Using our metrics/rubric/standards or your flawed metrics/rubric/standards?
It's very apparent that you're looking for a 100% perfect solution when none exists. That Corsair liquid cooler you bought? I can think of a half-dozen reasons give or take, none of them related to its size, for it to be a bad buy even at its $90 making it less thana 100% perfect solution. In other words, lower your standards from stupidly impossible to the real world.
So, again, do we have to recommend parts based on your impossible standards or based on real world standards? That basically means stop nitpicking every single minor useless detail like how certain motherboards are like 1-2 FPS faster than others.
Remember Pivo, at least 4-5 PC build lists have already been posted in this thread. That rarely happens in General Hardware threads.
As long as the PSU is good, it won't affect your overclock at all. Unless those reviews were proper reviews, ignore them. Unless there was a 50+ Newegg reviews out of 75 showing that PSU has a QC defect, ignore them.

....Why was the corsair a bad buy eventho it was recommended here? I already said I never used liquid cooling which is why I came here for help...I honeslty thought Cooler Master Seidon 120V or CORSAIR Hydro Series H50 were enough but I know nothing about any of them. I figured there was quality issues or something more which is why the 100i was recommended...

Thank you for proving my point.
Again, do we have to recommend parts based on your impossible standards or based on real world standards?
Of course real world..However, now you have me thinking I got the wrong cooler& for whatever your reasoning is about it being a bad choice? My standard for cooling was something as quiet as my current setup which is actually an air cooled OCed setup.running [email protected]. All Im expecting is a minimum 1ghz OC..if the CPU recmmended here is considered such a great overclocker that should be easy. Im not sure how any of this qualifies as impossible standards
That "minimum 1GHz OC" standard is impossible to meet. Sure, you could achieve it, possibly, but there's no guarantee that you'll reach it.
And your insistence on having us meet those standards makes it impossible for us to help you properly.
So what if you can't achieve a one gigahertz overclock? You can easily overclock the i5-4690K to beyond 4GHz... have you done that before (and kept it stable)? And how about the fact that you're buying (or considering) a high-end video card, a newer, faster SSD, and double the RAM? Do you really believe that you won't see a single FPS of improvement in your favorite games?
Or does everything have to be a 100% improvement over what you had before?

Again, you're not getting my point. Let me try again: No matter what solution you go, there's always something or somethings that's wrong with it. Therefore, there is no such thing as a perfect solution. I'm 100% sure that you thought that particular liquid was the perfect solution when it isn't. But the thing is though: It doesn't have to be. It just has to be good enough for the money you're paying. The cooler you bought is good enough. Do you understand now?
Your goal is realistic. Your methods to achieve said goals involves adhering to impossible standards/metrics. For example: My goal is to lose weight. But my methods to do so involves me researching every single aspect of my food from who raises it and what it eats all the way to the background of the waiter or grocer who's giving me my food.
To apply the above example: Your goal is to get a bang for the buck gaming PC that can overclock. However, there have been numerous examples in this thread where you're nitpicking/worrying and/or adhering to impossible standards or goals. Such as:
In fact, you said it yourself:
Picky by definition means adhering to impossible standards and aiming towards unrealistic goals and/or having unrealistic fears/tastes.
If I had noticed that sentence earlier, I should have stopped helping you right there.
So just to clear: are you going to stop nitpicking everything? I'm more than willing to just post a final build list as long as you're not going to just ignore the recommendations I make.

The ones you recommended as the best bang for your money...I just asked dangman why the cooler was not good pick. If a 100 dollar cooler can get me 100 mhz more htan a 50 I honestly should I went with the 50$ one...But I know nothing about each water cooling unit to kno which is best to pick.
Tiraides are you still standing by the build above as best bang still or are you having 2nd thoughts now?

I recommended several parts while you asked about other (different) parts.
What. Do. You. Want. To. Buy?

At the top since that allows you to use the HDD bays.

That's what I meant.
No, it's a shitty video card hence why I recommended it to you.
: Google, man, Google.
eVGA, Asus, MSI, or Gigabyte.
