Will This Work For Now?

[Made In Canada]

I plan on doing a better build in the future but for now i just want a plan and simple pc that will run games for now.  around mid to late summer i will be getting the G1 980 by gigabyte with a i5 4690k, but for now, will this work?  http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/wwVF99please note that im from canada and the prices are extreamly different so if you want to change it, please remember that.  also, the entire build except for the GPU and CPU will be used in the next build (when i update those 2 parts and add a custom loop) so again, if your making changes, remember that to.

If you want "enthusiast" level parts, like a K-Series CPU or an Enthoo Pro, save you money.

 

When you have limited money, as in not working, you buy the best you can to enjoy your system.  i5 4430 + GTX 970 could be a very enjoyable gaming experience.

The only reason the Enthnoo Pro is there, is because it has great airflow, and has plenty of space for the future custom loop i plan on doing.  And its not 300$ like the 900D.

So you would rather have an Enthoo Pro, even if it means you have to drop your GTX 970?

i would rather have a very good airflow case then a medium airflow case, for the main purpose of keeping the GPU well cooled.  Yeah there might be just a good cases for cheaper, but i dont know of any.  so yes, i would rather the enthnoo pro.

the only thing that does for my situation, is make me have to pay more later.  i really do understand what you mean that the price to performance ratio might be better.  but, like i said, i do in fact plan on upgrading my pc, the zalman may be too small so i might just have to upgrade anyway. (once i put in the new parts)

 

As well as it might just not have as good of airflow. (but im more concerned with the space right now.)  it only has 5 possible fans.
