Grab this with a A10-7300($50 adder).  If you feel generous go ahead and pop the extra $40 for 8GB of RAM.

H97 motherboards will for sure work so thats why id go with H97.

Hm, if it comes out to that, I might as well save up get a 4690 and 970

You could buy a "cheaper" pre-assembled system from ncix with room to grow.  And change out parts 1 at a time where you see fit.  That way you get your reliability on the first startup, and if there ever is an issue after a hardware change the problem can be pinpointed .  There are plenty of people out there willing to help, myself included

OP specifically asked for any comments like this to not exist on his topic.

you kidding me....i fitted a SSD in the part list........

If you want it to be cheaper you could get a 280x instead of a 970.
 
Also /r/softwareswap windows.

That's fine. If it were me I would try to get an i5. This is actually what I would do:

Note: 4GB is fine provided you actually run a clean system, but it's a quick and easy upgrade to 8 the very moment you need it. Some people will dislike the choice, but IMO it's worth it to get an i5, which is super important in my opinion.
 
edit: whoops, for some reason there were 2 HDDs in the first build. Fixed. I'd still go with 4GB of memory to start with so long as, again, you run a clean system. That's the easiest thing in the world to upgrade down the line as you just slap more in. Replacing CPU/GPU/PSU/MoBo requires rreplacing components instead of adding to, which is hugely more expensive. This should do fine for pretty much any game at 1080p at max (or near max) settings.

yes its a good amazing build, 1080p i assume? @42069x
 
and why would he need 16gb of ram??
