Hello! I am currently in the process of building a gaming pc and only have 3 parts remaining to purchase. I have about $450 left to spend (after rebates/discount) and was looking for some assistance in the selection of parts. I currently still need to purchase a cpu, motherboard and storage (preferably a ssd). Finally I would prefer to stick to Amazon, NewEgg, or NCIX for these parts. Below I will include a link to pcpartpicker with my build. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks kowashie for the input. I will most likely purchase a HDD a few weeks past the build once I have more funds available.

esco_sid, I was considering the 4670k if I somehow catch a sale. However, I'm not really interested in overclocking so would the 4670k be worth the extra cost?
 


There is no reason to get 212 Evo if your not going to overclock and no reason to get z97 or z87 motherboard they are made for overclocking h87 or h97 is fine for non overclocking and would save a ton of $ also if you have a microcenter nearby thats the place to buy processor+mobo 4670k there is 189.99 and 40off if you buy with motherboard.

Ok, I appreciate your help. Unfortunately I do not have a Microcenter or local store that offers competitive deals so I am stuck to rely on online retailers. I will definitely switch to the 97H then. Thanks again!
