Hello!

I want to build a gaming/multimedia pc and could really use some advice on this build I put together.
I also intended it to be quiet as well as cool but not spend too much on a silent case.
I have been screaming my brains out for the past 3 months to come up with this build (a ton of review reading) so please let me know what you thing/how it may be improved. I would spend an extra 30$ as I am on a tight budget and I already have a 500 GB WD hard disk, so I don't need one.
Here it is: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HWVVCJ

Thank you!

You've done good research, well done. I assume you're not overclocking since the CPU is a non K version, if that's the case it's an excellent build!

Thank you for the reply.
Exactly, I will not overclock hence the non K CPU and H97 chipset (not Z97). At first I was going for an i5 4690k but thought 4790 will be more future proof. I aimed for bang for buck (but Intel CPU and NVIDIA GPU). Also, I chose this motherboard because of the Intel i218 ethernet chipset.
