Final look over

[MasterFlare]

So I think that this is about done for me. I want to stay in the 800$ price range, and would like for someone to look over this build. I'll be gaming at 2048x1152@60Hz and would like to have a better CPU/Mobo if possible. thanks!

not much you can do to improve it. it's a pretty solid build

[Speedyv]

It looks solid.

 

Assuming you already have a HDD?

 

You can even go for a 500W PSU if that saves you money.

Looks pretty

Guys, small problem, will the CPU run well with the mobo?

yes they are both compatible. but to be "future-proof" you should consider getting the MSI z97 pc mate because they are the same price.

Not sure where that $20 slash on your CPU came from (I'm sure I just don't know what the hell PartPicker does XP), but at a base price of ~$200, I'd go for this: http://www.microcenter.com/product/434177/Core_i5-4690K_35GHz_LGA_1150_Boxed_Processor

Just a little bit more performance in the same price range, assuming it actually is. At the time of posting, my link says "$199.99".

Other than that, I gotta ask, are you planning on using the stock cooler for your CPU? That's fine if you're just going to be using it to browse the web, but to keep your CPU lower than the "maximum safe temps", I'd get something like an Evo 212. $20, does its job. I'd suggest a closed-loop, but that would butcher your budget.

 

Other than that, solid parts.

How do you suggest I get to a microcenter? closest one is 4 hours away.

[Dash Lambda]

You could order from them.

If it's too impractical, it doesn't matter much. It's just a suggestion.
