i didn't know what mther baord was better but this is what i was thinking. any ideas on this?
maother baord question Asus H87-PLUS ATX LGA1150 Motherboard vs
Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H Micro ATX LGA1150
either way it has to have usb 3.0 ports cause the case does and i am stuck on this case i relize that drives the price up about $50
also i only need 1T of storage
or anothe option based on Fractal's build
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/VoltreX/saved/2dBK
what do you guys think is best out of the 3 options the 1st 2 are very similar but they have a different mother baord as i have said

The 4430 is really if you aren't interested in overclocking, in which case you only need a H77 chipset as the difference between Z77 and H77 is that H77 mobos can't overclock.
Haswell based systems (eg i5-4XXX) are about 10% better than ivy bridge based (i5-3XXX) systems, they are the newest as of now.
If you want the best upgrade path than a Z87 and LGA1150 board will most likely be best.

ok i have no idea what that is considering thi is my 1st time but here is what i know im going to need
case : nzxt 410
optical drive : anything i can use to put win7 on
OS: win7
that is all i have finilized for now
i would like an intel cpu, and most likly a gtx (what i mean is not radeon the other i heard is much better , is this true?) for the video card, i dont need a cu cooler for now i can always get that later (right?), 1T or storage, and 8gb or memory. this is kinda what i think i want. and opinions or buil off this would be very helpfull.
this is what i have come up with but it is over my budget is there anyway to lower the price and keep the quality of this comupter intacked, could this be done with a lesser power supply to save money?.
just a question what is the difference between an 1-5 and an 1-7

Yup, zotac is a very reputable company with a record for some great products.
The i7 simply have hyperthreading and so it has 8 threads.
i7: 4 cores, 8 threads
i5: 4 cores, 4 threads
The only place that the i7 holds an advantage is for people who are doing high end video rendering and editing, otherwise there isn't any difference.
You asked if the price could be dropped in anyway, so i posted possible changes

thanks man i just had never herd of them before and this helps me more tan you knwo now im down to me last question/delema
the Zotac has a Core Clock of only 993MHz vs the Gigabyte GV-N760OC-2GD REV2.0 GeForce GTX 760 2GB which as a core clock of 1.08Ghz and is only 10$ more is this 10$ worth spending?

its a difference of 15Mhz its really nothing, you could just change the zotac card to be 15Mhz higher easily.
15Mhz difference for $10 more? not really worth it imo.
if your into high end graphics card overclocking then the gigabyte card would be better if this is the gigabyte card your reffering to

Only way you could cut back would be to cut back on the case, the phantom is an awesome case, but pretty damn expensive, I personally like the look of the Z11 plus BUT the case choice is a personal choice, choose what you think you like best z11 plus:

changes as prices have change are faster ram and a Z11 Plus.
If you prefer the look of the phantom, go for that

thanks man this help but why did u change the memory? whats the difference and why? is that what you said about fasterram? sorry for the million questions but im trying to make a beast machine. thanks so much for the halp again you have no idea how many people have blown me off
also are those 2 cases different it looks as if one has a clear top and one has a black top? if i could get the link to the clear top one it would be awsome love the look of it.

The ram runs at 1866Mhz at the same 1.5V will allow for more overclocking headroom and costs a couple of dollars less!
Everywhere sells the Z11 plus with a clear top and top blue LED case fan, but alot of websites simply take a photo of the case while its off, so it looks black.

Yeah, you could go for an FX based system too:

added in a great 128GB SSD for the same price. (even for an OS drive a 60GB SSD can get full really fast)
RAM, the ram you chose really doesn't offer any advantage , so switched it out for the 1866Mhz ram. you should try and aim for multiples of 2 so 2 modules, 4 modules so that the ram can run in dual channel.
Seagate barracuda drive, slightly faster and has a combo deal.
7970, highest end AMD based signel GPU graphics card out there.
nice modular 600W PSU with great ripple suppresion and everything else.
The FX6300 has 2 more cores than the FX4350 and a nice turbo core too.
the FX6300 vs the 4670k:
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/699?vs=837
with the AMD based rigs, there is no point providing an SLI/Crossfire path since the processors bottleneck a single 7970 already.
AMD sadly cannot currently compete on raw and gaming performance, heres a bench:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/piledriver-k10-cpu-overclocking,3584-19.html
And when you get to power consumption, the story just gets worse:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/piledriver-k10-cpu-overclocking,3584-20.html
For a high end build i do reccommend going for an i5-4670k, but if you don't plan on upgrading to SLI/Crossfire, then an FX based processor won't be too bad.
Also just because their from MIT, they may not specialise in PC part selection , thats more tech pop culture.

A PSU will only draw how much power it needs, it will never use more power than the PC needs, so a 750W PSU and a 600W PSU in a 500W PC will both only draw 500W.
if you want a 600W PSU then get a good branded one, like this:
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx600m
that 6350 is pretty solid in terms of performance, good choice. Everything else also looks great

ok with the power supply asside which i will look at depending on the system i decide on but which one if these whould you sudjest for a gaming pc? one is an intel the other is an amd. im consernd that the amd will bottle neck the gpu so much that the intel will be morth worth the extra 75$ if they will be very comparable systems ill go with the amd, but idk with the full build. what would you say is the best build? and again thanks for all the help.
