I would ditch the sound card (unless theres some port on it you really need), aftermarket cooler (for now), and filters (youll be fine without them till your budget opens up...freeing up 83.00. I'd put that towards a better card, if you can sell you 6670. That is, if youre set on z87 platform (intel).


For 1000.00, you could build a much better all round system

I agree with ToddyBody, instead of that i5 get a cheaper cpu like a fx 8300(may have to change motherboard) and get either a GTX 760 or better like GTX770
