I really appreciate any and all input. Feel free to be brutally honest.

I have decided to build a gaming PC that fits my needs and after spending hours trying to balance performance, price, and looks this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2AoEs is what I've settled on.

My gaming needs are fairly simple. I want a system that can handle the latest games but I don't need maxed out settings and I probably wont be overclocking. I'll only be using one monitor and I need the computer to have WiFi.

My questions:

Will this get the job done?
Do you see any potential problems?
What have I forgotten? (case fan recommendations welcome)
Would you swap out any of these parts for better ones within the same price range?
I am under the impression that this build can connect wirelessly without additional parts. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance.

z87 boards are designed for overclockers. other than that you have a good build.

X (X77, etc) – Enthusiast level chipsets. The best of the best. Also the priciest.

Z / P – Performance level chipsets. Not quite enthusiast, but for people who still want higher than normal performance and overclocking capabilities.

H – Mainstream level chipsets. From moms to high end gamers that don’t overclock.

Q / B – Targeted at business users. Q is typically for professional uses with specific needs, i.e. identity protection, while B are more ‘budget’ friendly, slimmed down version

But in the end its your call. All it matters is your happiness and satisfaction.

Okay, it looks like I could save a few bucks on the CPU and use that to boost the wattage. Any value to leaving the mobo as is (considering the next step down is only a $25 price difference)? Other than that any final thoughts before I take the plunge?
