But that's for future reference.

Anyways, we need to have some more info, as explained in this thread: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

 

Looks very good so far. No HDD though?

Mobo is overkill 

Why is the mobo overkill?

[Shhuks]

I would go with an MSI Z97 gaming mobo. I love mine.

Seconded.

I got the Gaming 5. If you want looks, the Gaming 9 is so sexy with the shielding.

Why is the mobo overkill?

Because for $100 less he will get the same performance and overclockability

Mobo is overkill 

But what if mobo is not overkill?

Ehm, im going to play BF4, Crysis 3, Diablo III, starcraft II, etc. I dont need a HDD, that have never been an issue TBH

You're joking right? I just offered a great mobo for almost $100 less. I mean if he's out to waist money or just wants to pay $100 for aesthetics then go ahead. I think the MSI Z97 Gaming mobos look just as good though.

BF4 alone with all the DLC will take about 100gb of storage fyi (I made this same mistake before lol)

Yeah man, I might just get that other mobo and with the money you save get a WD Blue or Black for your bulk storage.

Yeah, I was joking around, it was a joke based on the 'what if [...] is not kill' meme

It will be a fine build. I just recommend getting a hard drive for that.

Be a bit cheaper, run just as fast, and youd have more storage for BF4 like the the ever insistent and joke reference illiterate @Hunter.Boy stated

 

I personally would change the case out for like an S340, but thats personal preference
