[Pastrey Crust]

Also why the hate with the HDMI?

Are you?

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a proprietary audio/video interface for transferring uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from an HDMI-compliant source device, such as a display controller, to a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television, etc.

Its not entirely out of the question for a headset to have an hdmi output, just very rare.

its also not out of the question for someone to have a 3.5mm jack for a keyboard, anything is possible

is it practical?  no

can you find a headset that uses hdmi?  doubt it

it is out of the question unless you're a professional electrical engineer and computer programmer with intimate knowledge on digital audio manipulation
which nobody here is

You don't need a $300 motherboard unless you're going to do heavy overclocking, which that H100i won't let you. Also, if you're spending $2000 on a system you might as well get 16GB RAM; I also picked some faster RAM since it improves minimum framerates and prevents microstuttering, at least in physics-heavy games. $115 for a 2TB HDD is too much IMO when a decent Toshiba/Hitachi is about as fast and reliable for half the price; I'd spend the money on a bigger SSD instead. I also chose a different power supply with a quieter fan, although the 550GS is still pretty good. Other than that it's pretty good.

[Ipquarx]

I also picked some faster RAM

i agreed with pretty much all of your stuff except this
the clock speed of the ram doesn't matter, it's the total latency that matters. The latency on the one you picked is actually higher than the original.
