^You can afford a 4790K for much better productivity application performance if you swap a couple of things around.

This build includes a "good enough" motherboard that'll still overclock like snot, a devil's canyon CPU as opposed to straight Haswell, an Intel Centrino wireless card, and a much more economical case.

(Spending $150 on the shell of a machine and sacrificing a much better CPU in the process makes no sense.) You only buy the pimp cases when your budget is like $2500++ IMO.

 

And yes, ASRock makes good motherboards. No, it won't blow up. Yes, it'll overclock just as far on the H105 as that other board you picked.

 

BTW I don't like wireless for desktops, especially gaming desktops. You'd be better served by a 50 foot CAT5 cable coming from your router. JM2C.
