Do you guys think this is a good build for me?

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Vsyd23

 

I have a budget of $1000 USD, and am looking to do the following with my computer:

 

- Playing 1080p games at max or very high, including AAA titles

- Coding/Designing

- Minecraft with intense shaders

- Multitasking

- Web browsing and general use

- Rending (Nothing too intense)

- And just being able to have not many limits, and being able to last me multiple years before I need to upgrade it.

 

Thanks guys!

I really dont like the PCPartPicker generated things, because honestly, this thing just really matches prices for your budget, also, it paired up a Mini-itx motherboard to a full tower ATX case...

Overclockable 4690K and Z97 motherboard combined with fast RAM. The GTX 970 is one of the best, and the rig also has a 250GB class SSD. The PSU also has a hybrid fanless mode, so you can keep this rig pretty quiet.
