So, I really want to build a gaming pc, and I want it to last a long time. The thing is I really like this Silverstone PS08B case because it's small, and I like saving room on my desk. I don't want to go over budget too much, so keep it in the down low. Looking for high quality parts, like an i5 and a gtx 760 or 970. I could even go to $950 to get better parts. I don't need a monitor or mouse and keyboard, just insides for my case. Micro ATX . . . Thanks for the help! :D

That's $950 with rebates... Also you squeezed a gtx 980 in that build leaving out an hdd. He would need more space within a month with that ssd. I would consider the ssd in my build as a reason to spend that extra $70.

Also chose a different case and added a ssd.It's up to you if you think these are worth it.I would pick them,at least the ssd is worth it imo.
I chose a quite high powered psu,but it does even good at low loads for efficiency and has a positive review at jonnyGuru.It has long cables so it will take some effort to hide them.The fractal case i chose has at least some room for cable management.It's also semi modular so you'll only have to use the nexessary cables.

It's up to you to pick the cheaper case and no ssd so you can add a gtx 970.

Are you btw going to overclock?

You say you want to do long with the pc,overclocking can add to that time,when the cpu might become to slow in time can you add speed this way.Something to keep in mind,but if you really don't want that is there money to be saved.

If you click the link it there a compatibility warning,that's for the psu with the case.It's none existent when you don't use the bottom fanslot.If you would want to use a fan in the bottom could the psu be only up to 155mm long,the evga is longer.
