Ok basically she wants to start gaming on pc. She picked out a case and said you can do the rest basically since she knows nothing of computers haha. Basically I'm trying to figure out the best way to build this. She needs no OS. The case is the h440 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146148 $119. I would like to keep the price low but still be able to play some higher end games at 1080p at around medium/high settings. OH OH I almost forgot, the case is going to be being modded and I'm trying to get some color coordination. Its going to end up being pink with blue leds/hardware inside.
Gaming pc for girlfriend?

That's a sweet case. My friend's son has one - very slick. I have to call it a night, but I'll check in the morning - I expect you'll have a complete build by then, but if not, I'll pitch in. Cheers.

An H97 board can't overclock, so that K series i5 is pointless.
This would sere you better in my opinion.

This will play Bf4 at Ultra at 1080p. I was trying to stay at the blue and pink themed parts but it's really hard to do that, so I went with a black and red theme. It will look sick. I got the white case you were going to add but I would recommend the black and red one so that it would match the parts.

Actually, H97/B85/H81 with a bios update can now overclock, according to asus and a few other companies which have implemented overclocking in budget boards.
