Just like everyone I am trying to get the most bang for my buck and am trying to create a performance based build. Can you think of parts that are cheaper and would offer me greater performance?

If you could find a cheaper Board (Z87) itll save you some cash and you wont be losing much (i dont think so anyway.. Dont know much of intel boards) and could use the few $$ for 2133 ram which would be better if you ever got into photoshop and video editing/rendering. Could also go cheaper on the case... Look up the Fractal Design R4. its about 90$

1 its cheaper
2 the one you have i would say is just so big its kind of a waste to get enough fans to support one of that size'
3 Better overall reviews(more people bought it as well)
