from the cooler I guess you are planning to overclock. if it were me, i would get a slightly cheaper cpu, and throw the money into a larger main ssd. my humble opinion given the facts at hand.
why are you spending so much on that case. I know its pretty but how much time do you actually look at the case? itf it were me

i love the case lol are there any better graphic cards than the MSI one?

that's a good card. the question you need to ask is is it worth it to you, will you really use what it has to offer? if so get it.
use that saved money to get a bigger ssd, games will chew up the space on the little one, and game loads from hard drive suck.

i can just switch it out for a bigger SSD im not limited to only 1k lol i just feel 1k is enough for any game

1k = 1024 or 1000, depending on what is being talked about.

As such, I have never heard of a 1k SSD... And while there might still be a few 64mb SSDs out there, most now are at least 128mb, and they range up to 1tb. Bigger ones are coming too.

Many of todays games take up 10mb or more.

In the end though, your budget determines what you can buy. If you do not have a budget, then you can buy anything out there. As for the video card, Toms has Best xxxx articles monthly. One is specific to video cards, another is specific to SSDs. And yet another is specific to CPUs. The best of each are the ones that will end up making you happy.

well then, I saw 1000 budget build and thought that was the ceiling. get a bigger ssd. the ssd will pay for itself in other ways than just gaming. now that I know that an extra 30 bucks won't break the bank, I would opt for a 650 watt gold or better psu.
