Hello everyone I posted earlier this month about a first pc build that was around 2k. I was thinking that was a bit pricy and would like to limit myself to under $1500 since I have the potential to upgrade parts at a later time at my leisure so this is what I feel im going with now.
mainly for watching movies, tv shows, internet, and some gaming, potentially would like to overclock later but really have no prior experience with it and don't want to ruin the processor over doing it prematurely (but willing to try if theres a good guide out there)

CPU: Intel I5 4670k
HSF: Noctua NH-D14
Motherboard: Asus z87 pro
Memory G. Skills Ripjaw X 2x 4gb
Storage: Samsung 840 series 128 gb ssd
Western Digital Caviar Black 1 tb hdd
Video Card: MSI GTX 760 2 gb
(didn't want to go overkill on a GPU for the time being since the top ones are rather pricy and this still seems to be a powerful card that can run most games on high or top settings? )
Case: I realized how huge a full tower and would rather go with a mid tower since my PC will be on top of my table. Would like some advice if theres a better mid size tower and i'd prefer not to have a flip open case but i wouldn't be opposed if its a very good case (good airflow easy to work with and install into etc.)
Corsair 500r
power supply: here i was torn between the 650 w seasonic (posted in the link) and the corsair hx750. Not sure if i should go with the seasonic since they are well known for quality and being quiet or to get the additional wattage with the corsair?
Optical: Pioneer BDR-208DBK Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
OS: Windows 7 professional sp1 64 bit
Keyboard/mouse/speakers/monitor: I already own these and think that they are adequate for now
how's the build any advice on improving on this within the price range or is it a good build as is?
