Hey guys,
This is the first time I'm building a system, so, I thought I had take in all of your opinions. My budget is supposed to be about 1200$ not including the monitor or keyboard or mouse(I have them all). I do not live in the US or Canada so I will be looking inside a store.
This build will be mostly for 3D rendering, compiling, gaming etc... Mostly BF4, COD: Adv. Warfare, Alien Isolation... I do not require an SSD but shall be upgrading in the near future. Oh and of course overclocking.
Right now, I'm looking to get a Z97 or similar. I have created a build and ALL of your opinions shall be highly honored. I do not wish to go wrong in my first time and waste my dad a lot of money(I'm 13, you see). The link for my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RtNCqs

Oh, and the case should be having good airflow and mid-tower, good features... I myself do not care about the looks, but my mom does. I really do want to build it! Hopefully graphics card is Nvidia. 290 could be a good choice but i have heard that it heats up.
 
same performance better price or could add ssd in same budget

other than price "gaming" version usually have some gimmicky things that are not worth the extra cost in my opinion.
