How far are you planning on overclocking the processor? (Why the i7-4770K?)

Which games are you playing? At what level of eye candy?

Have you bought everything yet? (If you haven't, DON'T. Give us time to review your parts and offer suggestions.)

Why did you decide upon the Eizo Foris FG2421?

I'm going to oc the cpu as much as possible. 4th because didn't think 4930 was worth it just for gaming.
Going to play bf4, many new games at max setting 1920 1080.
I didn't buy everything yet.
Eizo foris getting good reviews as being the best gaming monitor. Since I play a lot of action games reduced motion blur will be good.

Get the i5-4670K instead of the i7-4770K. The only difference between the two processors is the latter's Hyper-Threading, which isn't used in gaming.

Why the Creative ZXR? Do you have some sort of elaborate speaker set-up?

What other games are you playing?
