I haven't seen a bad build by Austin to be hones. It looks good. I am not a fan of while cases and stock coolers but all can be changed.

Its pretty darn good, I wish he put overclockable cpu's in his builds but I think that that's done to make it a little easier for newer folks.

Drop the SSD, upgrade the CPu to 4690k and the motherboard to MSI Z97 G55 SLI. Get the SSD later

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Oh yeah this is Austin's build!

I'd go with another overclockable i5/Z87 and also another case

I Know PSU is overkill but it's for running SLI in the future.

This. The SSD is a luxury upgrade, and I wouldn't sacrifice performance parts to get it. If you drop the SSD, you can get a K series CPU, Z chipset MoBo, and aftermarket cooler, and it's worth it in my book. An SSD will never help with benchmarks or in-game performance. It will make things "feel" quicker, but it's not offering any real performance, just that feel.

If you don't overclock, then no, there;s not really a difference between the two. If you do, then there's a significant difference.It's very easy these days and there are many guides. If you're willing to put all this together, overclocking should come naturally to you. For basic K series overclocking, there are really only two settings you have to change on the MoBo: Core voltage, and the CPU multiplier. Yes, if you get into it you can find other things to tweak and you'll have to change a bit more if you want to go super high, but for basic overclocking that should be sufficient. It's super easy. Have no fear!
