My max budget is 1400 USD, If getting a lower price is possible without too much cost of performance, then I'm happy!
- Would prefer intel
- Looking to get into YouTube, but if an I-7 doesn't fit the budget, or i have to sacrifice gaming performance an I-5 would be fine.
- Gaming is mostly what I'm going to do
- Don't need headset, speakers, keyboard, mouse, or monitors, only the machine
- Trying to do whatever i can do to fit a 980 in my build
- I threw in the fan i wanted (green to match with my mouse/keyboard) but didn't know how many to get
Any help will be amazing! Really appreciated, this is what i have so far. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Qyszt6

its better, cause its skylake. Rather than Haswell Processor that you pick..

Negative is,
I pick the second best of I7. I can't overclock.

If you got another 100 bucks, you would get the I7 Skylake with "K"
And overclockable.
