Here's my current idea for a new build. Going to be using it mostly for gaming, and doing a bit of Autocad for my engineering courses. Any suggestions or things i should change? I do plan on overclocking. Really don't want to go over $1,300. 

 

CPU: i5 4670K

Mobo: MSI Z87-G55

Mem: Corsair Vengance 8GB (2x4GB) 1600

SSD: Kingston 120Gb

HHD: WD Blue 1TB

PSU: Rosewill Capstone 650W

Case: Fractal Design Define R4

Cooling: Corsair Hydro H75

GPU: no idea what to get.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I haven't put a case as that's personal preference, go with a case you like most.
