Here is a link to what I have in mind. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Dv3M
I'm wanting to purchase/build a small form factor gaming rig that will get as much performance as I can get within my $1400ish dollar budget. But I also want a reliable rig that will last me for many years. I at first threw out the idea of building my own and was looking at the Ibuypower's revolt. But after seeing the BitFenix case, and know I personally would feel pretty satisfied if I built my own rig, I think I want to give it a go. I also understand that my upgradability would defiantly be expanded with my own build for future expansion. After watching a video on building, I feel rather confident I can handle it. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm open to any suggestions, but I will say I love the BitFenix case.
A few quick thoughts, I picked the I5-4670k with thoughts that I could overclock it, and get comparable gaming performance to an i7-4770 while saving $100 bucks. As far as the cpu cooler, I picked the h75, but I honestly have no idea what would be the best option. I want the best performance/cost ratio for maximum cooling w/ the ability to OC. And I figured a GTX 770 would be a good card performance/cost wise. I can't justify the extra cost of going to a 780, but I am also unsure if the 760 would give me as much longevity and graphical power as a 770 would?....
Anyways, thank for your time! Look forward to your suggestions!
