AsRock is not a very reputable brand. If you can get something better, always do.

Are you serious? The Extreme4 is one of the best Z87 boards for under $150.

They literally advertise themselves as being a "Low-Line budget manufacturer". $1500 is clearly not a "Low-Line budget". I do like there boards, but if you have the money to go with a Asus or Gigabyte, then you should.

Because the GTX 780 is more expensive the SSD had to be removed to stay in budget. You can add the SSD back in and be just $40 over budget.

I found the antec 300 as well as the nine hundred did not have adequate wire management. The cooling was great but not much else
