@powerover9k - Hey! thanks for the tip! Still deciding if i'll go with formula with SupremeFX or Extreme.
I checked your Sig as well and saw your case and googled it and its awesome! also, i noticed that you are using the rampage IV black edition, being a noob, is it better than "maximus VI formula"?
With my current build, is it okay to use the NZXT phantom 820 or CM Storm scout 2 instead of cosmos? come to think of it, its not as big so its a huge advantage! smaller case the better. Just not sure if its good for the build that im going for.
For the onboard sound, ill stick with that and if it sucks, then ill go ahead and upgrade, for now ill follow your advice. Im currently using B&W P7 for my music. Not sure if it will do good in terms of gaming or watching movies.
As for the ram, I checked both Vengeance pro set 16gb (2x8gb) & 32gb (4x8) and I was told "fewer stick the better for haswell". So, do you still recommend i get the 32 gb kit or stick with 16gb?

@Gunslinger - Will follow the onboard sound first and upgrade if I must. If i get your advice correctly, you are choosing extreme over formula for future upgrade? is that correct? but if Im planning to stick with it for a while and only use 1 monitor or 2 monitor, stick with formula instead of extreme? Did i get your idea?
AIO cooler
I've checked both fan and has its own share of pros and cons.
the corsair, is not compatible with win 8 and im trying to an 8.1 windows if I cant find a win 7 copy. If you were me gunslinger, would you rather go for the thermaltake or if you can recommend other AIO cooler that would be compatible with win 8 and 7.
Ram
I'll decide which to get. I might end up with win 8.1 Pro or non pro and will have to see if I really need 32gb set or 16gb set. I might get the CORSAIR V Pro 1866 model.
Moving forward, can you help me on choosing a case? for my set up is it okay to get a mid tower instead of uber tower type? any suggestions that will compliment the build that vying for plus the thermal cooler and fans to be installed. Overclocking safety for i7 4770k.
abvolt and antronman thanks for the extra tips
