My current system is showing its age (2500k, GTX 760), and will probably be re-purposed to give to my sister for graduation (her laptop aint cuttin it for her artsy stuff). I've decided to build a new system, semi-themed around Black + Red parts, while not wanting to go way over budget to fit said theme. It is only my second time building a system, and needless to say my first one was a little messy and didnt look very clean, so I would like to do it right this time. Here is what I've come up with so far, I would like some input on anything you guys might change or swap. Thanks in advance!

Should note I plan on purchasing all these parts throughout the month, and may elect to use Newegg for most of it, since I live a few miles away from the warehouse and can pick up the stuff to save on shipping costs/wait, but if the price is right at other vendors...
Again, Thanks in advance and I look forward to your replies!
