If you just plan on gaming with this PC I would get the I5 4670k CPU. You will save a 100 or so dollars then you can put that into a newer GPU. Like a GTX 760 or GTX 770. There is no reason really to get a I7 CPU unless you plan on streaming or doing video editing cause games will not take advatage of the hyperthreading in the I7.

NOTE: If you do get the I5 4670k CPU and upgrade the GPU to a 760 or 770 you will need to upgrade your PSU. I would get atleast a 650w or higher just to be on the safe side.

Would I still be able to use the NZXT Source 210 Elite White?

Do you have another Motherboard option cause I do not trust ASRock, sorry.

Tell me what you think of this build. It has a lot of the parts you selected. Exceprt you get a much better GPU GTX 770 and a much better PSU from Seasonic. - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2C2St

I think it is pretty solid on everything but are you planning on overclocking or no?
