I will probably save money to buy a r9 270x instead.

This is primarily a gaming rig, and general use rig.

Also, will save money to buy an OS, Wifi, and Optical Drive.

Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I would go with a G3258 instead of the 860K

I would also change out CPU. But enjoy your build!

I actually prefer that AMD or the Intel of that price range, I would change the power supply, I have had 2 bad CX power supply's. I currently have one and it works but it is loud!

A g3258 is going to bootleneck in the near future. Should I just wait for the new Steamroller Fx cores?

Go with the g3258 get an asrock z97 anniversary and get two 4gig sticks instead of one 8 gig, and once you overclock the g3258 it will not even bottleneck a 770
