Hello all I would like some input on this build. At the moment it's a dream build. I'm hoping to sell some things I don't use anymore to make it a reality. I don't want to go into the price range where things are starting to be a waste of money( performance/price curve) I want it to be a good computer for a good price given it's performance.
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Plan to buy: WIth in the next few weeks, but the sooner the better, since I'm excited about this case
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, ncix, amazon, I’m open to most sites.
Country : San Diego, CA 92082
Purpose: -Purpose: gaming, and CS homework is about all I do
Current Build(rough draft):
Here are the parts I'd really like to get (first attempt, it will change. I like to check in with the community regarding the build)

**NOTE: I am thinking about going for the 2gb version for $40 less, IDK which to do, but $20 per GB for the upgrade doesn't seem bad.
**CPU** | [Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor](http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54670k) | $219.99 @ Newegg

-I don't know much about storage. I typically stream videos, and my games won't fill this up.
not sure components
**CPU COOLER** -undecided
preferences- black in color
not sure- to go h2o or n2

I'm not sure where to go with this one. 8gb, or 16gb... what speed is optimal... etc etc (looks matter too)
| | **Total**

Overclocking: I’d like to
SLI or Crossfire: No, its an ITX build (small form factor is a priority)
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 1920x1080, I may hook it up to a projector or tv at some point.
Additional Comments:
-At this point I am just looking for guidance. I've been working on this dream build since yesterday.
- I don’t need anything top of the line, but I’d like it to be in the upper mid-range, and I hoping to build a great computer for a good price. I want to avoid making this build too expensive $20 at a time.
-I’d like the build to be balanced and built for its purpose.
-So, what do you think?
