What's up guys. It has been a more than a few years since I built a gaming PC so I thought I would put this build sketch up here to see if I can get some input or opinions on it. I am transitioning back to a PC from a gaming laptop so I am basically starting from scratch. This will be used primarily as a gaming setup and I'm looking for a build that will be able to stand up strongly to today's games and last 2 to 3 years with only minor (SLI or upgrading the GPU, RAM, some overclocking perhaps) upgrading. Here is what I put together last night:

Basically I am looking to maximize power/longevity and minimize cost so if you see any changes that would maximize that (especially cost since I went over my initial budget already) please respond with your suggestions.
Initially I had the i7-4770k in as the CPU but traded it out for the i5 since I didn't see the $100 dollar difference worth it. Do you agree/disagree with this? Is their a cheaper mobo that will do everything this MSI can? Everything is open to change if you can convince me. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. PSU is 850 to handle SLI should I go in that direction. Would like to avoid water cooling for now unless you guys feel it is necessary. Did I miss anything vital in the build?
Games: Currently BF3/4, DayZ, Skyrim, minecraft modded, and would like it to be able to handle some of the new MMoRPG's coming out soon like elder scrolls online and such.
May also want to add a second monitor in the future for non-gaming purposes.
Have at it. Thanks.
