Awesome MIDI controller! I got a 61-key M-Audio off of eBay several years ago--all I record with. FL is a great DAW, you'll love it!

 

Cool adapter Canga. Guess I've been trying to do it the hard way all along (xpadder and such) .. :(

Let's see...

 

CPU - Good

CPU cooler - Good can get it cheaper (think $20 is what I paid on Newegg - constantly goes on sale)

Mobo - Looks good maybe check out the Gigabyte Z97x D3H line.

Memory - Will interfear with your CPU cooler. I have G-Skill snipers and I had to slightly offset the fan on one side of it. If you want, the 1866 snipers are about the same price anyways and better ram.

Storage - Good I suppose, though get a WD Black instead of Blue especially since it's not much more anymore.

GPU - EVGA would probably be better (doesn't have to be a FTW, can look at Superclocked ACX's 2.0) 970 is a bit overkill but whatever floats your boat I suppose. I'd personally go with a 960 instead and spend the savings on other pieces.

Case -  Not bad, NZXT is good.

PSU - Had a Corsair HX 650W 80+ gold - absolute garbage! Loudest and most annoying PSU ever... Get an EVGA - this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438026is what i have now. Nice and quiet :)

Monitor - 144Hz? Any reason? What about a 27" WQHD monitor (Acer has one for $300 atm)

Speakers - Good - love my Logitechs, though I'm a headphone type of person atm)

Price wise: I'm just going to set everything to Amazon, then pick up some deals later from all different kinds of sites.

 

As for the RAM, I've really been on the fence about getting 8GB of RAM or 16 GB of RAM. From the forums I have visited 8 GBs of RAM is sufficient, but my Mac currently has 16 GB of RAM and I don't really want to downgrade.

 

As for the monitor, I play ALOT of CS:GO and everyone on the subreddit glorifies 144 HZ monitors, so I figured I would give it a shot. I'm still not too sure about this, but my internet can only handle 1080 videos anyways.

 

As for the mobo, I really want one of those sick looking MSI motherboards, but I've heard absolutely horrible stories about updating BIOS.

 

On a completely unrelated note: ALL OF MY WEB SEARCHES ARE GOING THROUGH UK SITES INSTEAD OF US SITES ON MY ENTIRE HOME NETWORK! Come on google, I thought you were better than that....

That's a tradeoff I suppose... I have a Crossover 27Q-LED-P (Korean monitor)  myself and I really like having the extra real estate and pixel density. I should get another one sometime soon though as I want to rotate this one Vertically and have 2 x 27" side by side.
