Hi I'm looking at building my first PC, mainly for gaming.
Here is my set up so far
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/f9KbRB

Main question is motherboard:
should I stick with current or go for this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz97xsli
the only different being I might have to update z87 BIOS and z97 has 4 SATA while z87 has 6 SATA

A lot of the parts were chosen because of deals/rebates.
An intel i5-4590 for 160 is a steal, but I could go i5-46xx

The geforce is a little long. otherwise was looking at these:http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-n760tf2gd5oc

Might upgrade PSU
Case: I dont know, picked based off price & superb setting here http://www.logicalincrements.com/

I am open to any advice but I dont want to go over $800
 
No need for a Z series chip set. Buy an H97 for a 4590. There is also no need for a CPU cooler since you wont be overclocking.last but not least.. The CX series from Corsair is really not good so I would suggest a cheap XFX PSU.
