HeyyScott I do light gaming, not BF4 or anything. I also work with CAD programs and things like that. Autodesk and those types of programs.Well if you are planning to do 3D/designing tasks and such, the i7 is fine because it will be able to handle the multi-tasking but it's pointless to have a Z87 mobo when the CPU is a i7-4770 non-k version. You can not overclock a non-k version, while the z87 mobo is for overclocking. Also, you should try to have at least 16GB of ram for the types of tasks you are planning to do. Although you are planning to do light amount of gaming, the GT 640 is out-dated and weak. I personally don't think it's worth the $100. It also seems like they wasted money on bunch of little accessory parts that are not a priority. It will be easier if I knew the price of all these parts.

Okay! Thanks for all your help everyone! And thanks to you Scott! Ill cancel the order and get started on putting a pc together I guess. But if I had to keep it, would replacing the GPU with a GTX 760 make any more of a difference?Yes, that is a improvement but it's also because a lot of money is wasted on some of these parts. Unnecessary parts are inserted everywhere. You could maximize your $1050 with better parts if you personally pick and build.

I can try to figure out the prices. I ordered it from iBuyPower after my older brother (who is in college atm, not that it matters) showed it to me. Is their stuff overpriced most of the time? And I also have a GTX 760 from my brother that I think I can put in the pc.Don't get me wrong IBuyPower is good an everything but that's only if you know your components. I always say iBuyPower is the power of alienware without the name brand pricetag. and BTW the 760 is a good card probably 3or4 times the card in this build your ordering....

OP, I suggest you to cancel your order and save that $1050. Build your own pc, it's not hard and allows you to have better parts for your needs and not waste money. Just ask the forum for pc builds!I'm gona have to agree with this you can build a decent beast by yourself for the amount of money your spending with iBuyPower.

If you put something together on www.pcpartpicker.com and come back here with it, im sure half of the tom's community will help critique it to a awesome build.
