$1150 Budget Advice

[Tranquill]

I have my build that I am going for on PCPartpicker, I need advice on the motherboard and/or CPU, it is under 1k right now but, if I were to increase the budget by $150, would anyone be able to recommend me anything better than I already have done on the parts list? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Tranquill/saved/ZnFnTW

[Tranquill]

I am not worried about the PSU for now, any advice on GPU/CPU/Motherboard?

[ThatOneRussian]

I'd add a CPU cooler for sure, and maybe case fans. You don't need to fill up the whole case but a few extra might help

 

Heres a decent looking cooler: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6J332N5915

Do you NEED that case? :3 Can I suggest a better one?

i would reccomend changing to a 6600k so you have a better chance at upgrading in the future

I have a CPU Cooler in mind, just haven't gotten around to putting it in the build for some reason.

I already have the CM Storm Trooper and am really satisfied with it.
