Alright everyone! This is attempt #2 in trying to pick a part list for my first ever of build! I've studied up a bit more and I think I managed to pick a decent build for maxing most games at 1080p and allow for recording and some streaming for a good while and allowing me to reuse parts such as ram or the power supply in the future . http://Pcpartpicker.com/p/qsGCf7

 

 

So my questions are:

1) does this seem like a decent over all build for roughly $1000?

2) does this motherboard allow for overclocking in the future if I were to get a different CPU

3) are there any suggestions on a case? I'm thinking of getting this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/vivo-case-casev04#viewImages and replacing the blue fans with red to follow the red and black theme I'm going with

 

I'm very open to suggestions on the parts but would prefer to keep an Intel processor. If at all possible I'd like to stay with the black and red color theme

 

Thank you all in advance, I've learned a who lot from this forum recently and am really thankful for the people who are willing to help newbies like me.

I just bought a i5-6600k and MSi m170a m3 , and 16gb of ram , for $471, the 6600k was only 40$ more than what you have there and then you wont have to buy a whole new chip which will cost more than 40$ . I agree with @UnlimitedTMD get and ssd even if its a small one for the OS and maybe some steam games. thats what I did then I later purchased another ssd just for all my games and have a HDD for all my music/videos/files etc.
