The power supply is overkill. You could get a 250 GB Samsung 840 instead of the Intel 335, much better value for money. And for gaming, you're not going to see a real difference between a Core i7-4770K and a cheaper Core i5-4670K.

PSU is overkill. I know i own it :lol: . Also the corsair dominator platinums are a complete waste of money. Look for some G. Skill 1866/2133

Idk..but a little birdie told me the Gene is better than Hero.
Probably from an overclocking point of view.

They're essentially identical when it comes to overclocking. The Gene adds a few features in other regards, but also gets cut down to mATX.

Plug them into the native ports controlled by the Z87 chipset. Secondary controllers suck.
