I am thinking about maybe getting an i3 instead to lower the price point. I would like it under 800 if that is possible. I'd like Skyrim and SC2 on Ultra or near it as possible. How is my Mobo and Graphics card by the way? and is the PSU a good quality one? Thanks ahead of time guys!

Only thing I'd argue hard against is the PSU.... that's quite a poor PSU and the EVGA 750 which gets a 9.5 build rating from jonnyguru is actually $6 cheaper

Not keen on AOC monitors.

It's $75 more but I'd try and work your way of possible into a Z97 / 4690k for overclocking and future SLI capability

Thanks for the tip on the PSU I didn't even see that on there wow thats ridiculous! What's wrong with the Monitor? Also, what is the difference between that mobo and the ones that are cheaper that msi sell, like the pc mate?

Z97 and k processors mean you can very easily overclock.

The MoBo supports two GFX cards....when ya system gets older, instead of building a new box, just add a GFX card and go another 1.5 - 2 years

The G45 supports RAM up to DDR3-3000 / B85 to 1600 .... 2133 RAM is the cheapest right now

G45 had 6 SATA III ports to B85's 4
