I am done picking the parts, but I had some questions below:
___
Compatibility Notes: In order to fit, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card may require removing drive bays from the NZXT Phantom 410 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case. The case only supports video cards up to 230mm in length without removing drive bays, while the video card is 292mm long.
I was informed that my GPU will fit, so I should disregard this warning.
___
Compatibility Notes: Some Intel Z87 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Haswell Refresh CPUs.
Don't know what to say about this, any advice?
___
I originally had the i7 4770k instead of the 4790k, but since the 4790k is $3 cheaper, I chose to get it. Though, I don't know if I should save $100 and get the i5-4670k. I will be using the PC for gaming, school work, drafting (AutoCad to build houses), etc.
___
I don't know if I should get the 840 EVO SSD for $84 or stay at the 850 Pro for $125.
