I gave you a better cooler and a Z97 motherboard so that you can overclock your CPU, and I changed your HDD and RAM to more reputable brands.

My Max Budget is about 720 USD, and I love the look of the current case I have picked out, thank you though

go with gelid extreme solution for thermal paste,z97 for mobo,550 evga gs for psu,seagate for storage and 212 evo for cpu cooler

I did what you said, but It went about 80 dollars over my budget. I can probably get more money very soon, so that would not be a problem. This is what i came up with.

Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB FTW ACX 2.0+ Video Card  ($229.99 @ Newegg) 
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case  ($52.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Power Supply: EVGA 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply  ($24.99 @ NCIX US) 
Total: $813.73

actually with that gpu you should go with a i5 4460/gtx 970/550 gs evga,gskill memory,h81 mobo of any kind,no cpu cooler

 

or keep the gtx 960 and get a 250gb 850evo

This is my first build, so excuse my ignorance but how big of a performance difference is there between the 4460 and the 4690k?

I thought your budget was 720 bucks! What happened to that 633 dollar 4460 and 290 I made up? Get a nice CPU cooler, SSD, you're good...

Follow the topics you create using the "Follow" button in the top right corner!

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!
