For a new build i am deciding to go with a haswell build. The i7 processor is for other programs that i am going to be using such as photoshop, Cinema 4D, Vegas. I dont need an SSD to start with and if i decide later on then i can add one in.

I am going to OC
1080p 120hz monitor
no microcenter
maybe sli
prefer intel cpu

so this is the build i came up with:

for what you are wanting that is an awesome build since you can get that mobo and cpu cooler for the price it is at, everything will work great. if you are going sli i would get a higher psu now then later on though.
