Need pc to play demanding games battlefield / gta v (coming out)
Also render and edit.

I will be using PC excessively (almost all day) so a good cooler would be nice so it doesn't overheat
 
Solution
Get an h97 board. There are plenty that will run all the way up to 2133 RAM.

The 200r is a better case and offers MORE features/ options than the SPEC series, which is sub par.
