Black and Red first build

I have been running a dell prebuilt with a i7 920 since 09 and finally got my new Pc together a couple of months ago now. First time building from scratch. I'm not a heavy gamer but want to be able to play what ever i choose without many compromises. Many parts where chosen based on price to performance or if a deal came up. I really like the black/red theme, so that's what i went for. The 8600k is oc'ed to 4.8 at 1.335 volts, the silicon lottery did not go in my favour, but temps hold around 60-62c during stress testing and low 50's while gaming. The rad is set up as a push/pull config with 4 riing 140mm fans. The Titan has been fitted with a g12 and corsair h50 in push/pull which keeps its at a 2050mhz overclock. It holds steady and maxes out around 54 degrees in 1440p gaming vs 84 degrees at 1080P on the blower cooler.No noticeable bottlenecking at 1440, the cpu and gpu play well together. Case is a bit cramped now and something new is on the short list.
