Will explain why later, gotta run to the store.
:edit: This Cpu will out perform the Amd no problem, it also allows the upgrade to an i5 or i7 later for even better performance. Standard 16gb's of Ram, solid motherboard as well. Standard HDD and optical drive. The budget allows for a little more money to be spent on the video card, and the Amd will out perform the nVidia here. This case is a great buy at this price point, with good cable routing options. The power supply is a good price here too, only issue is it is non-modular. I wouldn't buy Win7 right now. Win8.1 is still supported, and it works great. It's been my OS for about 3 years now and I've had zero issues, while my wife still uses Win7.

Looking for at least ATX not mini, also Intel take lots of $$ to upgrade. The list I posted was the "base" like cheapest for now, always double the ram, HDD and GPU as well as 8-core CPU like the 8350/8370 later. I was really looking to see if not over-clocked it was really necessary to get an aftermarket CPU Cooler, or at least a cheap/effective/quiet one. And the Win 7 I'm just to used to it and 8.1 and 10 - 8.1 problems I guess. Then 10 compatibility with older software, also ssshhh "cracked games and programs". I was looking at the mobo and was up to 2133 ram, but the CPU states 1866. I am although surprised for the MOBO you offered was 64gb ram capable. I'm afraid of mini-grenade for they are hard to keep cool. And you "red" is more for my girlfriend or Mom. LOL. I do like the alternative for price. I'm just not greedy, all at once that is. It's just that I could use what I have now as an HTPC and get a good home PC for the house.

Ok, I listed an ATX build, so no worries there. It would cost about 190 to upgrade the Cpu to an i5 for what I listed, but even if you don't, the i3 will flat out beat the Amd Cpu you listed, and will out-perform an 8370 in a lot of applications as well. You con't *need* a better cooler if you aren't overclocking, although it's not a bad idea.
If you prefer 7, that's your choice, but I'd highly recommend 8.1. Just download Classic Shell and you get the normal WinStart button. There are other cases out there, but this one is really good for the price. Again, this isn't an ITX or MATX build, it's an ATX build and heat won't be an issue.
