Use of build?

I would also reccomend an H97/H97 board if your cheaping out on the mobo atm.

 

also, 8gb of ram is fine for gaming if its for gaming.

No reason to put a K-processor on B85 socket. Also RAM and HDD seem a little bit overkill for a gaming system (just sayin', I don't know what are you planning to use it for).

Change the board, but other than that it is good, looks pretty balanced.

Yeah change the motherboard to a better Z87 or Z97 board and maybe a better PSU

whats the usage?

1. Get a z87 or z97 board with a k processor. Otherwise you won't be able to oberclock.

2. Get a 2 tb drive. 4tb ones have high failure rates.

3. You can save some money by getting 8 gb of ram

change out mobo to Z97 if you going with a K processor and go for a  1 or 2TB WD Black or Green.  

 

also that NZXT case is really old design.  I wouldn't suggest buying and using that one.    

 

maybe go with either a fractal design case or corsair case.  C70 Vengeance is a good corsair case for not much.

 

an RM series Modular PSU would be better.

 

8GB of DDR3 is all you need for gaming.  faster ram won't help in games. but really I tell people to buy the fastest 8GB kit their mobo has support for and that fits into their RAM budget.

why take 1 or 2 gb ? take WD red they are good and anti failure

and like many said before change mobo and get 8gb of ram

 

this all will save you a lot of money and you will be pleased evenly

For most gaming and general use system 8GB is more than enough memory.

 

Less expensive but good performance memory and hdd provide budget for a Z97 motherboard, nicer case, and better psu. There is no point in getting an unlocked (K) cpu and high performance cpu cooler if the system is not going to be overclocked.

 

Check out the H440 blue / black case, http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/143-h440-performance-mid-tower.html. If that is not to your taste I would suggest something other than the Guardian 921.
