ok, so there are a few things i would change. I would get a better cpu like an i5 4690k and a cheaper mobo like a GIGABYTE GA-B85M-DS3H-A, or something like that. I agree with Electronics Wizardy on getting a rx 480. I would also look for a cheaper PSU.

i cant find a 480 anywhere it will be months before stock and probably still wont get my hands on 1

Power Supply: Corsair CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply  ($55.99 @ Amazon) 

^Modular PSU for easier cable management

Total: $935.40 / All parts from just 2 merchants for easier shipping

 

If you have more dollars spare, add a cpu cooler (1 / 2). You don't need em but you can't have your windowed case with a stock cooler. =)

Yes. Pcpartpicker also has a built in filter that tells if your parts aren't compatible.

 

So if you picked an ATX size mobo first and then pick a case next, it won't show you mini tower cases that don't fit that size of motherboard.
