Im looking to keep it at around $1200 USD including shipping and tax.  Id be using this rig for mainly gaming, some light 3d modeling and programming. I already have 2 1920x1200 monitors I plan to use along with a keyboard and mouse.  I was wondering how this build looks and if anyone has any recommendations, especially concerning part compatibility.

Saving money on the processor will let you spend more on the GPU. There are better motherboards in that price bracket. The 970 Evo is a professionally oriented product, with quite the price premium. The PSU is crap.

Left the case, but, doesn't seem all that impressive honestly.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
