Are there 2 sticks in a matched set that came together in same package ? Otherwise I'd avoid.

You'd want the Z97 for 4690k .... otherwise will need a 4670k to install so you can upgrade the BIOS and then you can put in the 4690k.

Still would avoid that PSU.... and get a regular ATX MoBo .... paying a significant premium for an outdated , tiny MoBo designed for someone who wants to pay a premium for the small size.

Pretty much everything other than the 4690k is "last generation stuff".....
The rendering is gonna prefer a 4790k

Do you need OS Professional (how many PCs on network ?) ... need XP compatibility ?

Why Mid Tower case with Micro ATX MoBo ?

PSU is one I'd avoid.

I always try and stay with at least the least expensive card that SLI's ... that would be the 760 right now.

What were ya thoughts on RAM ?

Budget ?

Im on a 1000$ budget. (The people who I'm buying this from are giving me a great deal for the price tbh) I'm buying this for 900 from them. The Mid-Tower case was cheaper than the micro-atx xD so i went for that. RAM, I've got a bunch of 8GB ddr3 sticks lying around so I can make use of them :D
