Pc that will last some time. I choose bigger wattage, so the load is lower ( around 50% ) I don know nzxt psus.

 

Xeon just because price/performance, t40 cheap and better than stock or t20, 16gb just because, 770 pretty obvious choice, and glorious h440 for silence, coolness and cooling.

Yes, checked mobo for compatibility, and ram also.

May change build if i feel like adding 4670 or K

Your formatting appears to be a little messed up. Can you try pasting the BBCode Markup into your post? If it isn't fixed then no big deal--it's just easier to read that way.

cut back on the mobo,PSU and GPU

 

if you see all the builds above have pretty much similar parts

 

follow them if you like and you might get the cost under 1k with a full build
