Seems like a pretty nice computer for 900$ If I were you though I would get a motherboard with LGA1150 and a Processor of the same specs with a LGA1150 in case here in a couple months you want to get a 4th gen processor

What are some good ones that have a good price and to be honest I might get this in 4 months and I don't think I will upgrade it.

Haven't built a 4th gen Processor computer yet, and haven't done much research. Recently built a PC for 700$ with an i5 and I didn't realize that 4th gen was going to come out soon...If I would have I would have done some research, and would have choose a different motherboard of the same price /w same features

Do you think the taxes and shipping equaled the extra $70 if it did then its okay, but I will go with this build. How long will this last me and it is very good for the price?
