Hey Guys! So i decided to build my very own gaming pc because lets face it.. prebuilt gaming pc's are WAY to expensive for me at least espesially alienware and stuff like that, Anyway if you guys could give me you're feedback on this build [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rGtY23[/url] That'd be great! My budget is $1000 dollars so if you have any suggestions for different parts or anything please let me know. Thanks.

You've chosen an 8-series motherboard chipset instead of the newer 9-series. Getting a last gen chipset is one of the worst decisions you can make in building a new computer, especially so with a Haswell Refresh processor. Not only that but you listed a last gen Haswell processor as well. A H97 for non overclocking, and a Z97 for overclocking is what you should get. For your budget a Core i5 4590 or 4690k is what you should aim for. Do you want or need to overclock? For gaming you don't necessary need it in a lot of situation. If you don't need one then you can save extra cash by stepping down to a 4590. Would you take advantage of an ATX motherboard? If not then consider going down to both an mATX motherboard and mATX computer case. It's much more space efficient. Don't get a 4GB GTX760. It'll be waste ([B]especially for $250![/B]). Instead get the 2GB version. The MSI Twin Frozr version is a really nice choice. As ~Kiwi~ V2 mentioned, your PSU is overkill. [QUOTE='[ML] Soda;46318438']Sorry do you know if that motherboard works for SLI?[/QUOTE] Only z-series chipsets support SLI, even then not all of them support it (the motherboard you listed doesn't support SLI). SLI isn't something I fully recommend though due to its downsides. You're better off going with a single GPU. When you need to upgrade the GPU in the future then you should sell your current one to help make up part of the cost for a new one.
