I wasn't planning on OC but I see the i5 4670k is $179.99 at Micro Center now so I'm thinking about investing into a full ATX build. What do you think? Here was my original build.

Edit 1: Now I'm considering OC btw.

Edit 2: This was to be a gaming rig for me and an editing rig for my wife.

if you are going to use 4670K instead, you gotta replace the motherboard as well with Z87 chipset for overclocking. (MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Asus Z87-A, Gigabyte Z87-UD3H, Asrock Z87 Extreme4)

and you may consider 2TB Seagate Barracuda as well, its is almost as cheap as WD 1TB.

and 16gb of memory are for editing purposes I believe... Otherwise it wouldnt be needed at all...

the rest looks just fine.

have fun.

Thanks for all the help! Now that you mention the case, I was going to get that one for my micro ATX' build but I was thinking about a larger case with more fans now since I'll be OC. Any suggestions?

I'm not a huge fan of Asrock so I would go with an Asus, Gigabyte or MSI motherboard. Not sure though, but in future it'll be usefull to OC your CPU.. I recommend to buy a 4670k so you won't need to buy another soon..
