http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Kenshinfo/saved/d4snTW This is a new build I am doing and I am wondering if I could swap anything out for something better. Any thoughts?
might as well buy Intel Core i7 4770K when going this extreme
+1. A 9590 really isn't worth the money. The 8320/8350 very much are, but especially when you're going with an i7. Of course, you could always wait and build with Haswell-e when it releases, but that would be sure to put you well over $3000.
You can look into nzxt h440 case,its just prettier.ram is overkill imo unless you are video editing or music production etc.for this insane cpu you can look into sabertooth mobo if you like if you want more cooler system.imo for this amount of money you can go for intel 4770 or even 2011 socket machine.that would be more horsepower.imo if you are amd lover,you should get an fx 8350 because 9590 is just oc version of it,not new architecture so it makes sense for you to get i7 or even xeon.
I agree with others save yourself the money of the 9590 and just get an 8350 and OC.
You would probably be better off with two separate 290x cards. the cooling on the 295 is nice but 2 290x with after market cooling is probably going to be better and cheaper.
Super overkill on the RAM unless you are video editing or something like that.
You could take the savings from the above changes and get a 250GB SSD and a second 2TB spinning rust drive. Sound like a serious gaming/streaming machine.
try this - its cheaper, slightly faster and will run cooler

That is quite the build! I would go with Vandal85's suggestion with the PC parts.
I would switch to an i5.
i7 if you were planning to use it for movie editing, 3d modelling etc
The only thing I could think of beyond vandal85's recommendation would be to look at other memory options to try and save some money. It really boils down to what you are using this for.
