http://gyazo.com/f134414008240b2ab1135ce0f580a714 this is a good setup and its from pc case gear in australia but its 4670k but that motherboard has a overclock button so if your not good with that kinda stuff you just hit the button and it does it for you!

and you can just copy that list and use in msy i know there cheaper than pc case gear i usually get my stuff from them because they are 9/10 the cheapest pc store in aus! :) hope this helps!

No use going with a z87 Chipset with a non-ocable CPU. I would suggest avoding the normal Phantom and going for the newer refreshed models -- the original phantom is very old and lacks alot of the new modern techs in case designing. Not only that, they are roughly the same price. I suggest the soon to release Phantom 530, or the Phantom 630 if you want a roomier chassis.

It would also be worth getting a nice non-expensive CPU cooler like a Hyper 212X, which will make your rig run quieter and be able to be overclocked (if you get a k series CPU of course).

PSU is a great choice, and the motherboard is fine (assuming you get an ocable CPU..)

I would avoid the Sandisk and get something much more reliable, like a Samsung 830/840.

z87 seems to be the best choice as I yet to find a different chipset that supports SLI
Swapping to the Phantom 530
Swapping to the Samsung 840 EVO
