I made another post quite a while ago about a build, but I ended up having problems with getting my cash online to buy with. Now I have enough money in my account to buy with. I wanted to post everything I am getting here to make sure it all looks good, encase I missed something and it will end up not working.

Comes to a grand total of: $1,113.75
I'd rather not spend anymore.
If you find any fuck-ups or have any tips please let me know!
1) Processor is the S version. The only advantage of that is low TDP, you want the non-S version.
2) You might want to go with the B85 G41 since it's cheaper.
3) What is the purpose of the computer? If it's just gaming, you can stick with 8 GB of RAM.
4) You should get the Gigabyte version of that graphics card. It's cheaper, has a faster clock, and has the best air cooling you can get.
5) That PSU is way overkill even if you plan to SLI the 760s.
6) You are only using newegg, when often times you can get them from other places for much cheaper.
Here's my recommendation: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1zoZe[/url]
It's ~$140 cheaper and better. You may also want to downgrade the RAM to: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f312800cl9d8gbsr[/url]
If you want to go through newegg, use pcpartpicker to find the respective parts on newegg.
Wow thanks!
PC Part Picker is what I am going to use, then.
I'd rather have 16 GB RAM, just encase.

Oh, I'm not buying everything from PC Part Picker so I need to buy them all individually?

You're spending an extra $70 "just in case"? Trust me, you will never surpass 16 GB.
pcpartpicker is not a vendor. Pcpartpicker gives you the price for the best vendor which is listed next to the part. As you can see newegg offers the best price for the RAM, so you would get that from newegg. You would then get the other parts from their respective vendors. You can also get the newegg/amazon/whatever link if you don't trust the vendor or don't like their shipping/return policies.
I feel like I'd be getting my parts at different times and it'd just be very weird..
I am over budget by 18 cents so I can't buy it yet, I suppose I need to find cheaper RAM.

Like I said: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f312800cl9d8gbsr[/url]
I wouldn't spend extra money just to have your parts ship in the same package, but if you want to make sure you get good fast shipping, stick to amazon and newegg and you shouldn't pay to much more than the other vendors.

Price: $1,014.62
Edit: Changed power supply.
I'm kinda disappointed with you changing the PSU. Also, a quick note about RAM. The only freaking time I get CLOSE to 8gb is when I do editing. After Effects & Premiere likes to eat up ~10gb :v:

Well thats a stupid build.
-You have the more expensive K CPU that allows overclocking byt a mobo that doesnt. Get a z87 mobo.
-Get 2x 4gb of RAM. You can always buy more if you need it. (which is never)
-A 500W PSU is enough.
-The case is ugly, but thats just my opinion. Take a look at the Corsair 300r if you want.
Does this look like a good motherboard?

Yes.
But the cheaper MSI z87 G43 would probably also suffice in your needs.
Go with the G45-gaming if you want to have SLI support. The G43 only does crossfire.
[QUOTE=flayne;42080822]Go with the G45-gaming if you want to have SLI support. The G43 only does crossfire.[/QUOTE]
And what's that for?
Basically SLI for AMD cards
As somebody with 16GB RAM: Don't waste money on it. I originally had 8GB(2x4GB) of RAM without issue, then saw a sale where another 8GB(2x4GB) was on sale for $20. I bought it, and under exceptionally few circumstances do I actually cross over above 8. This is when I accidentally leave a game open while I'm editing a video and with a ton of tabs in chrome. If you had 8, you STILL wouldn't go over, because Windows likes to take up unused RAM to the point where my idle is about 3GB without running anything. You won't go above 8GB for the forseeable future, and you can always upgrade for cheaper when/if it eventually becomes an issue.
In terms of graphics cards, definitely spring for Crossfire or SLI compatibility. It allows you to buy a second copy of your graphics card and nearly double your video output power when you eventually need it. It's much easier to just buy an extra of your graphics card down the line for $150 than it is to upgrade to some new fancy $350 card that has the same effective performance

SLI/CF doesn't work like that.
Adding another card or two isn't going to double or triple performance. In a perfect situation, you may get 90-95% of the performance from the second card, but in most cases it's much less. And in some situations you can get much worse performance if the game isn't designed to take advantage of multiple GPU setups.
Having a single more powerful GPU is always going to be better than SLI/CF because you won't run into the issues of those technologies, and you'll not have double/triple the power draw.
Why do you insist on getting 16 gb of ram. You will never need that much.
