I would like to have a motherboard with usb 3.1's, and I'm not sure if the case I've chosen will have sufficient cooling for my CPU. But here it is folks: I'm not buying a monitor just yet, I'm hooking it up to my 4K Samsung via HDMI for now. I'm not planning on 4K gaming just yet. I want this build to be able to run anything I throw at it, though the most intensive thing I will do is hi-res gaming. I would like to purchase today. My budget is around $1100, but if I go a little over that's fine. I also won't be needing an OS.
