I haven't totalled up the cost of your parts but off-hand, with a 3.5K budget, you should be able to do much better.

May I ask what the main use of the system will be? If you are gaming, an i5 would be a much better choice, and it also shaves off money from your budget, to put towards something else.

If you have the money to spend on an i7, then go for it, just that it's a little overkill for gaming.

Gaming mainly, I do programming too. I put aside 400 for a 144 hertz monitor

okay. but do you require i7 for gaming? unless you intend to programming and game at the same time which i think i5 would be sufficient or that is of course you do not mind spending that amount unnecessarily.. we trying to be more practical.

Can you give me the list of par5s? Thanks

according to Koenig168, he was referring to your specs provided but have yet to sum up the total value.
