The only thing i would hold against that build is the case. At that price i would expect some terrible build quality. It seems to be trying to cover that up with the 'fancy' design on the front. Aside from that it looks pretty good.

it's the same US site.

 

If it was where I lived, it would be http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/gPnBHxwhich is almost $1100.

That's even worse. Biostar doesn't make great boards, and Seagate has higher known failure rate then WD. 

 

Strix is a boring 970, definitely worth the extra $30 for the G1, and there's better PSUs then the Corsair CX for cheaper.

[hypnodog]

Tried to increase performance for the same price. Put in a 4690. I also put in a 290X, which has a bit less power, but at least it has all 4 GB of VRAM

The bios that comes on that board when you open the box is incapable of running devil canyons CPU's.

Then why go for the Strix if it's worse...

Devil's Canyon does not explicitly mean Haswell Refresh. It's just the 4690K and 4790K that are Devil's Canyon.

For guaranteed Haswell Refresh support, you'll want a H97 or Z97 board. That's why I went for i5-4440
