It's a little bit under budget so you that you can get a better looking case thatbfitsbyour style. Also you could spend that money on a CPU cooler so that you can oc. Recommend hyper 212 evo/plus. This will let you run games on high and some ultra

Here you go. Similar to above, but a tiny bit more expensive however includes a CPU cooler for silence and a large SSD, however not the OS.
If you want to OC, pay about 10 more for the non LE version of the mobo.

Yup.
Or, if you need to include OS, you can remove my SSD entirely and add the OS, but it won't make too much difference as the builds are still fairly similar. Most of the things are personal choice, eg which case you prefer, which mobo you prefer, WD vs Seagate harddrive, you get the idea.

Yes. If you remove the SSD from moos build it will end up costing $689. I'd go for the ram in my build though. It will be slightly faster for $5. (1866/9 > 1866/10) Also if you don't need an optical drive ( reads CDs ) remove that from my build. Will save you $20 and you can get a cpu cooler instead. Hyper 212 evo/plus are good coolers

This comes with optical drive, if you don't need it shave off $20. This build allows you to overclock very well. Even though the mobo isn't a 990fx it overclocks very well.
