Sexy build.
...but some things may be too expensive.
I'd recommend swapping that Motherboard for this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130775&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
Everything else looks perfect.
Hmm.. duly noted. The reason I have that one is because unfortunately I will be using mostly wifi where I'm at now and thought this wasn't a terrible deal with a $20 MIR and Far Cry 4 download.
Have a look for the ASUS Z97 PRO AC, its got the WiFi you want, and is considerably cheaper. Drop to an i5, as was suggested, it should run all current and future games fine for the next 3-4 years. Your GPU may come bundled with Far Cry 4, I know that my GTX 970 came with a redemption code for FC4, ACU or The Crew.
Would this be a better build then? I'm very new at this, but I want a machine that will last and that I can upgrade through the years. The MOBO I had before seemed like one that would last a long time and is easily upgradable. The CPU, I'm not quite sure on the actual differences between i5 and i7. All I know is that I do plan on gaming on it a lot and I am an engineering student so I will be using a lot of softwares like solidworks, autoCAD and all those. Not sure if that matters at all, but yea. Here's a changed up part list with the i5, Asus z97 pro [wifi ac], and then upgraded to an MSI gtx 980 since it kept it around $1500. Could go wither way on the GPU though, wither 970 or 980. Let me know what you think, and if you could possibly give me some info on the differences in processors, that would be awesome! Thank you!
