Get a 250GB ssd and upgrade your motherboard so its compatible with the 4690k

the whole point of this build was to get a start.. this is not the final product.. i will probably get a z97 in case i ever do decide to overclock.. plus i was looking for a rough estimate.. the only thing i would look at upgrading is the video card.. that i would probably bump to a 970.. be mindful that im on a 1200$ budget
