I'd suggest planning later. ~2-3 days at most before you buy. Parts and prices change frequently so any parts list you come up with now will likely be obsolete by the time you're ready to buy.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

Sounds a good idea :) I just thought i would make a list of components a while before i purchased, but i guess i'll do that later, and in more detail.

In response to the reply about waiting for the 8xx series of GPU's, isn't maxwell thought to be coming out nearer the end of 2014? Orrr???

Go with an Antec psu for that build and if you want to save a little money you can find Gigabyte boards that are of great value, have loads of features and would be cheaper than that Asus board.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S
