my build is under $1000 and i want a nvidia reference card and a small case with a window in it.

is this a good build ----> http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mpfJhM

 thank you

Reserving post for a pcpart link, that build is horrible.

Also why a reference card? Those are generally better if you avoid them.

Change the CX psu. No need for a Z97 motherboard with a non K- series cpu.

You can now overclock the CPU with 4690K and cooler, and have faster loading times with the Samsung SSD.
