why spend so much on 8gb of ram? a cx450m or s12ii would do the job just as well but much cheaper.

Try to keep things under the same topic. I'd also put this under New Builds for future reference. What is your budget and what are you planning on using the computer for?

If I were you, I would definitely consider spending a little extra and getting an i5 6600, or 6600k if you plan on getting a z170 or z270 board down the line.  Also, love the white color scheme you seemed to have planned out, I'm also rocking a white setup.

Don't think the Xeon e3 would be very good for gaming.

it's just an i7 4770 clocked 100mhz less, no reason why it wouldn't be as good as an i7 for gaming.

Get a higher quality PSU rather than a higher wattage one, the motherboard will look weird because of its color scheme and the fact that its mATX. Also that Wi-Fi adapter will be slowwwwwwww

Still think he would be better off with an i5 7600 or even 6600 and a b/h150 board.
