everything is fine but why z87?

[ZetZet]

Slightly better psu. And Z97 mobo.

Everything looks good, except I'd ditch the fans and up to a GTX970 instead.

Looks great actually. Only thing I'd say is to add an SSD!

did i just put a 980 in a $1000 budget? Yes I Did!

The 290x doesn't support DX12, which will be a big  feature by the end of the year, it may be worth spending the little bit extra on an GTX 970 or R9 390X

I dont really play AAA titles like bf4, and high graphics games. I like the build... But do I NEED a 980? could I get away with a 970?

yeah you could, but this setup is alot more future proof and will last you years.

You REALLY dont need the extra fans, the define R5 is extremely efficient when it comes to air flow and such  I suggest also getting a 970 instead of the 290x with the extra money from not having the extra fans
