Digital Storm Vanquish lvl 3 vs Building DIY

Solution
I picked the same components as in the Digital Storm build and change a few other and get something better and cheaper. The only missing thing is the OS and if you buy one separately, you'll get about the same price but without the discount, since the original build cost 1177$. I only checked on Newegg but if you put all these components on partpicker, I'm sure you will get an even better price. If you have questions, feel free to ask them. Take a look:

Case: Corsair Carbide 300R (Same case as Digital Storm. It is a high quality case and a bang for your buck at this price)

CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K Haswell 3.5 GHz (Same CPU, but since it's a K version, you will be able to do overclocking in the future if you need it)

Heatsink: Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO (Same CPU cooler. Can't get wrong with this one)

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87X-D3H (A much better quality board in my opinion. It's reliable and have plenty of features for the price)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128591

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 760 OC (Same chip, but this particular card is factory overclocked and have better cooling. It will also run much quieter than the one from Digital Storm, since it's an aftermarket model)

Power supply: Corsair HX 650W (A better quality power supply, which features a gold 80+ certification and full modular cabling. CX power supplies are really cheap and tend to break a lot. Plus, it got 50W more of power to spare, meaning that the unit will run cooler and quieter)

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB (Same hard drive. It haves plenty of space to store your OS, games an programs. But if you got more money to spend, I recommend getting an SSD for your OS)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840

Memory: Kingston HyperX Black Series 8 GB @ 1600 MHz (One of the best brand for desktop memory. Nothing more to say)

Price: 1064$ (including taxes and shipping)

Have fun building !
