I am building a PC for $750 including peripherals, I don't want to put in $150 for Windows so I am using Linux. This is my build so far, I am planning to use this for now and then upgrade eventually. This build will be used solely for gaming.I do plan to overclock slightly so I am using a Z97. I want to have some feedback for this build, and see if I could get a better bang for the buck, that sort of thing.  Thanks in advance.
